[Three Kingdoms] Seven steps into wetness

Getting married is a very troublesome thing, and it has been like this throughout the ages.Cao Zhi and Cao Zhang accompany him occasionally, and they already feel that this is too annoying.

Especially on the day of trying on the gown, Cao Zhang stared at the complicated and cumbersome black wedding gown, and murmured with straight eyes: "...Brother, be good... This marriage is too scary! Yuan Jun is not so cruel!"

Cao Zhi was also a little demented and said: "It's terrible, but fortunately I'm still young..."

Then, Cao Zhi saw a hand with sharp joints, approaching his eyes with lightning speed.Before he could react, he felt a pain in his nose.

Cao Zhi covered his nose and quickly stepped back two steps, pretending to stare angrily at his second brother, who had been resting before him, and said aggrievedly, "Why did second brother hit me?"

Cao Pi flicked his fingertips and smiled slightly: "Although the fourth brother is young, he is too cute, and the second brother always wants to bully him."

Cao Zhang laughed out loud.

After trying on the dress, there were still some inappropriate parts that needed to be changed, and Cao Pi was called away by Bian again.After walking with Cao Zhi for a while, Cao Zhang felt that it would be better to have some fun, so he went for a stroll on the street alone.

Cao Zhi wandered around the mansion shaking his head, humming the song he remembered for some reason: "Women in the mountains are like tigers, you must dodge the married birds~ you must dodge~"

Then, he heard someone at the corner in front of him couldn't help but sneer,

this laugh...

Before the corresponding person appeared in his mind, the master of the voice had already appeared in front of his eyes: "The fourth son is very elegant. It turns out that the fourth son is not only talented in writing, but also has a unique singing voice."

Cao Zhi has black lines all over his head.

He rubbed the back of his head and coughed embarrassingly: "Cough... I met Mr. Guo."

Guo Jia stared at Cao Zhi indifferently, with a delicate expression on his face: "The fourth son is so young, he treats women as tigers. What should we do when we grow up?"

There was no half-joke in his eyes, and even serious, calm and gentle.But what he said was not serious at all.

Maybe this is the difference between him and Yang Xiu.

If Yang Xiu wants to laugh at others, his face will be full of inscrutable and profound, and even the National People's Congress will be hit; if Guo Jia is like this, he is still kind and calm, without feeling any malice.

Cao Zhi laughed: "Hehe."

Guo Jia paused.He narrowed his eyes slightly, and said slowly: "After the 'huh huh' of the Fourth Young Master... are there still some words?"

Cao Zhi blinked, with a very innocent expression.

He finally remembered that the person in front of him was actually smarter and more transparent than Yang Xiu, he pursed his lips into a reserved smile, and stopped talking.

Guo Jia seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

After staring at him for a long time, Cao Zhi said, "Sir, are you... not busy?"

Guo Jia blinked, and Cao Zhi realized that this person pretended to be innocent, and he was more innocent than himself: "If you are not busy, will the fourth son invite me to drink?"

"...Hehehe!" Cao Zhi quickly swallowed what he was about to say, and grinned, "Actually, Cao Zhi is quite busy—no, I haven't read the Book of Songs yet, and it's almost time for sword practice... In spring, the days are short, so Time is a little tight, sir, you understand!"

Guo Jia said nothing.

He only held his back with both hands, and walked away lightly, leaving two words by the way: "Hehe."

"..."

Before Cao Pi marries Concubine Zhen, the emperor rewarded her generously, and the princes from all over the world also sent people to bring big gifts.Among them, I have to say that Jiangdong Sun Quan, the messenger is actually Zhou Yu.

After Zhou Yu came from a famous family, everyone has heard of Gong Jin's name.When he was young, he and Sun Ce were close friends. Without Zhou Yu, Sun Ce would never have done anything later.It's a pity that Sun Ce passed away early, so he assisted Sun Quan.

At that time, there was a ballad saying that the song was wrong, Zhou Lang Gu.

This is to say that Zhou Yu's description is beautiful, but it would be a big mistake to treat Zhou Yu as a man who has lost his gold and jade.In fact, his reputation in Jiangdong is no less than that of Cao Ying's Guo Jia, Xun You, Jia Xu and others.

A few years ago, Cao Cao knew that Zhou Yu was young and talented, so he sent Jiang Gan to lobby, hoping to introduce him to Cao Ying.It's a pity that Jiang Qian came back alone, but Zhou Yu's magnanimity was beyond description, and Zhou Yu was even more respected in words.

Cao Cao was disappointed for a long time before giving up.

Zhou Yu actually came this time, how could Cao Cao not be moved?

As a result of his heartbeat, he summoned Xun Yu and others, and pretended to sigh.First he praised a few of them, and then he said that he was thirsty for talents, and finally he said casually: "Wen He, what do you think of Zhou Gongjin?"

Jia Xu glanced at Cao Cao and said calmly, "Elegant and talented, he is also a genius."

Cao Cao felt that this evaluation was very good. He glanced at Jia Xu approvingly, then turned to Xun Yu and said, "Wen Ruo, what do you think?"

Xun Yu smiled and said, "Even in our army, there are few people who can match."

Cao Cao's smile deepened: "Haha! Wen Ruo has no need to be modest, you are one in a million, you are the only right and left hand!" After he finished speaking, he quickly changed his expression, and said sadly: "It's a pity that Zhou Gongjin is so sad. It belongs to Jiangdong, so it cannot be used by me!"

As the lord's caring little padded jacket, how could the counselors not know Cao Cao's heart?

It's a pity that Zhou Yu has always been respected by Sun Quan, and such a demeanor will never convince them.Most of them pretended not to understand the meaning of the lord's words, one or two stared at the ground, as if wishing to stare at a thin crack, so that they could get in and tell the lord to go without seeing themselves.

For a while, the scene was a little awkward.

Cao Cao finally said angrily: "That's enough, that's enough, I don't want to go around with you, Guo Fengxiao, you go!"

Guo Jia coughed lightly.

But seeing that her master and princess had made up her mind, she could only touch her nose amidst the many gloating expressions.

When Cao Zhi saw Guo Jia again, he was cooking tea and discussing affairs with Zhou Yu in the exquisite garden.

At that time, people picked the leaves to make cakes, roasted them, pounded them into powder, mixed with green onions, ginger, oranges and other seasonings, and then cooked them in a pot.These procedures, in the eyes of most people, are boring and boring.But after Zhou Yu's actions, it was indescribably freehand and romantic.

Guo Jia clapped his palms and said with a smile: "You can cook tea so beautifully, you really deserve to be Zhou Gongjin."

This sentence seems to be suspected of molesting.But when Guo Jia said it, no matter his tone or expression, it was a serious compliment.

Zhou Yu seemed unaware, and wrote lightly: "Not as good as Mr. Guo."

Guo Jia sighed: "Gong Jin's words are wrong. Not to mention whether the tea is good or not, how can Gong Jin see her?"

Zhou Yu heard it, and then raised his eyes to look at him.His eyes were narrow and long, and the moment he raised his eyes seemed to be flowing and graceful, but it was definitely not the charm of a woman.He wasn't embarrassed, but seemed to really recognize Guo Jia, his eyes gradually became serious: "It's Gong Jin who lied. So I replaced the wine with tea and punished myself with a cup."

Guo Jia was noncommittal.

He took a sip of tea, closed his eyes and thought about it for a long time, and smiled lightly: "I used to admire Gongjin's reputation, but I never imagined that one day I would be able to make tea and chat with you in such a place."

Zhou Yu also smiled: "The same is true for Zhou Yu."

His smile is covered with the reservedness of a nobleman, he looks a little alienated, but the sincerity on his face is unmatched by anyone.

Of these two people, one bears the heavy responsibility given by Cao Cao, and the other knows it well.It was only after Guo Jia asked straight to the point if he would come to Cao Ying, but Zhou Yu refused, that he was so leisurely.

Cao Cao stopped for a moment, but did not step forward to disturb him.

—— Probably because, in a trance, the smiles of the two people had already dazzled his eyes.

To the day before the wedding, the dowry is in an endless stream.Zhen Ji's family background was originally good, and Cao Cao was also rewarded.Now marrying Cao Pi seems to be a happy event for everyone.

Those who came to the banquet more often were generals and scholar-bureaucrats.

All the house is happy!

A few years ago when Zhen Ji married Yuan Xi, it was probably because Yuan Xi was not favored by Yuan Shao, so the grandeur of the scene could not be the same as it is today.

The common people gathered together to watch the fun and talked about it with great interest.

They were watching the fun, but Zhou Yu didn't think so.

The reason why this wedding banquet is so grand is actually to show Cao Cao's power and fame, and more in the end, it is to deter Liu Biao and Sun Quan.

The next day, Cao Zhi and Cao Zhang finally saw the sister-in-law.

Eyes like bright moon, waist like slender willows, with a few slender steps, like flowing clouds... At least Cao Zhang was stunned for a while.While Cao Zhi was thinking about the future, he was also absent-minded.

Cao Pi narrowed his eyes slightly.

After talking patiently, he quickly held Zhen Ji's hand, and said softly: "Mother is busy with her son, her feet don't touch the ground, madam, why don't you leave earlier, don't disturb mother's rest anymore."

Mrs. Bian glanced at her son, and said with a smile: "Mother is not tired at all! Hey, it seems that my Pi'er has a daughter-in-law, so she will leave mother alone!"

Everyone laughed.

Zhen Ji bowed her head in embarrassment, her bright face becoming more and more unattractive.

Did Bian let the newlyweds go, ordered them to rest, and teased Cao Zhang: "What about you, when will you marry a beautiful daughter-in-law for your mother?"

Cao Zhang blushed in embarrassment, and coughed pretendingly: "That, that, discuss it later, discuss it later!"

Cao Zhi laughed out loud.

In the fourth month of summer, the Black Mountain bandit Zhang Yan led more than [-] bandits to surrender to Cao Cao and was granted the title of Marquis.

Previously, Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi fled to the west of Liaoxi and attached themselves to Shanyu Tadun of Wuhuan in the west of Liaoxi.Ta Dun teamed up with Su Puyan, Wuhuan Shanyu of Liaodong, and Wuyan Shanyu Wuyan of Youbeiping Wuhuan, leading his troops into the Great Wall to harass and besiege the school lieutenant Xianyufu in Junping.

Cao Cao was furious.

Everyone knows that a battle with Wuhuan is inevitable.

Soon after, Bian set off for home.

Before returning home, Cao Cao specially called the three brothers to drink tea.When the three arrived, Cao Cao was making tea in the pavilion.There was no usual majesty and sternness on his face, only tranquility and gentleness remained.

As if he was just a loving father.

Seeing the three of them coming, Cao Cao also showed a smile: "Come on, come and sit down beside Weifu."

Cao Pi responded and took his seat first.Cao Zhang and Cao Zhi also took their seats, although they were a little cautious, they soon dispersed.

The four of them drank tea and chatted freely.

Talk about the people of Xuchang, talk about the trend of the world.During the period, Cao Pi and Cao Zhi had some good ideas. Although they were a little immature, Cao Cao was also refreshing.

After speaking, Cao Cao's eyes became more and more satisfied.

Then, he sighed.

Many times he faced the parting of life and death with indifference and calmness.Therefore, almost no one knows that there is always a knot in his heart.

He thought of his son You, who died in battle for his father in his prime.Then his first wife left him.Just because he never said these things doesn't mean he isn't uncomfortable or depressed.

Now, the rest of his sons are in a place that he can't see - they are gradually growing into outstanding men!

How could he not be disappointed, and how could he be dissatisfied?

He patted Cao Pi on the shoulder heavily, and said calmly: "Pi'er, you have already married, and it's time to consider starting a career. As a father, he is now stationed in Yecheng, and Xuchang will be entrusted to you."

Cao Pi was slightly taken aback.

Subtle surprise and joy flashed across his eyes, and then he got up and saluted.His face is full of confidence, and his tone is also firm: "Father, don't worry, my son will live up to my father's expectations - keep Xuchang well!"

Cao Cao nodded slightly.He turned to Cao Zhi and said, "Since you are still young, follow your second brother and learn more."

Cao Zhi also got up and saluted respectfully.

Cao Zhang finally made up his mind at this moment, and said loudly: "Father, my son begs to stay in Yecheng and go out with my father!"

"Oh, my father is still wondering when you will say it." Cao Cao glanced at him with a smile, "Old man, you often say that you want to be a general, but you don't study well. Now you tell my father, what do you think? , what should a general do?"

Cao Zhang said solemnly without hesitation: "Wearing solid armor and holding a sharp weapon, facing difficulties without looking back, leading the soldiers to charge into battle; earnestly reward those who have meritorious deeds, and severely punish those who have committed crimes, especially honesty."

Cao Cao laughed heartily when he heard it, and responded.

When the three of them came to Yecheng before, they didn't make much fanfare; but after going back this time, after the sensation of Cao Pi's wedding, it was difficult to keep a low profile.

Although Cao Cao now dominates the north, it is not absolutely safe after all.Cao Cao ordered a team of several hundred people to protect the safety of a few people.

On the day of departure, Cao Cao came to see him off.

To avoid suspicion, Cao Zhi was riding on a horse at this time, and his eyes could not help falling on the scribe in Tsing Yi in front of him.

The sun was shining all over his face, and the eyes were as warm as white jade.He stood beside Cao Cao calmly, not infected by sorrow at all, and his expression was still so comfortable and leisurely.It seems that this situation is not parting at all, they are just basking in the sun.

This person is called Guo Jia.

This person has never been arrogant or impetuous, and has always been gentle and gentle.Or the sky above my head at this moment is clean, clear and open-minded.

Cao Zhi told himself so.Falling in love with this person is nothing but an ordinary to insignificant thing.

Thinking of this, he laughed for some reason.Then when he passed by, he couldn't help lowering his voice and said: "...Take care."

It's take care, or goodbye.

Guo Jia's lips still smiled.He didn't seem to hear these two words at all, and waved goodbye to them.

More than four hundred people disappeared unhurriedly.

They watched for a while, until the people who had gone away became indistinguishable black dots, Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief: "Let's go back."

Guo Jia lowered her eyes in response.

When he turned around, he couldn't help but glance again.

He used to think that this little boy was very interesting, slightly different from ordinary children.But I didn't expect that I gave myself such a surprise.

die?

Human beings are inherently mortal, either lighter than a feather, or heavier than Mount Tai.But anyway, to die is to die.As Cao Zhi said that day, even if he was brilliant in life, he is nothing but a pile of loess after death.

However, it is completely different to die before achieving hegemony, or to die after sitting on the world.

Guo Jia quietly closed his eyes.

——Cao Zhi, Cao Zhi, why are you saying these things to me?
