"Fengxiao, do you think we should bring something back to the lord?"

Walking on the streets of Yecheng, Zhao Yun turned his head and asked Guo Jia.

Guo Jia grinned and said with a smile: "Zilong, don't you know that the lord is a person, it is better to bring a beautiful woman back to the lord when you buy things, I am afraid that it will make the lord more happy." Besides, we have won half a year's money by the lord, and we have to leave some spare money to buy wine and drink. ”

"Yes!"

Suddenly, Guo Jia's footsteps stopped, and his eyes looked straight at a woman in front of him, and the depths of his eyes revealed memories, affection, and sadness.

The woman seemed to be aware of this, and turned to look at her, a look of surprise in her eyes at the same time. Then, the woman swayed and walked slowly towards Guo Jia.

Guo Jia's expression moved, as if he had a thousand words, but he couldn't say it.

"Brother Guo, I haven't seen you for a long time, are you okay?"

This woman's voice is like the cry of a yellow warbler, tactful and pleasant, which makes people's hearts tremble. The physiognomy is also the posture of the middle and upper.

A bitter smile flashed at the corner of Guo Jia's mouth, and he pretended to be bland: "It's all about living, it doesn't matter if it's good or not." Rong... Mrs. Chen, after you married into the Chen family, how are you doing?"

The woman in front of her is the daughter of the Ye family who once had a mountain alliance with Guo Jia's childhood sweetheart and an oath. The Ye family is also a scholar clan in Yingchuan, and their status and prestige are among the middle. Of course, compared with the declining family of the Guo family, the Ye family is obviously a big family that Guo Jia cannot climb. Therefore, the Ye family beat the mandarin ducks and broke up Guo Jia and Ye Rong. Subsequently, Ye Rong was married to Chen Zhong of the Chen family, another equivalent to the Ye family in Yingchuan.

Speaking of the Yingchuan Chen family, it was also a humble family. However, since Chen Yu, the family road has flourished again, and Zhong Hao, Xun Shu, and Han Shao of Yingchuan are famous for their high and virtuous behavior, and are known as the "Four Chiefs of Yingchuan". Among them, in addition to Han Shao's three sons who died early, Zhong Hao's great-grandson Zhong Xuan, Chen Yu's grandson Chen Qun, all of them were recommended to Cao Cao by Xun Shu and Sun Xun Yu. In addition to the talents of Zhong Xuan and Chen Qun, the close connection between the scholars is also one of the reasons.

Chen Yu has two sons, the eldest son Chen Jizi Yuanfang, the youngest son Chen Chen Ziji Fang, Chen Ji and Chen Chen both have the title of virtue, brother filial piety, boudoir Yonghe. Chen Yu, his eldest son Chen Ji and youngest son Chen Chen were known as the "Three Gentlemen" at that time. Of course, the Chen family is prosperous again, but after two generations, it has not been comparable to the Yuan family and the Xun family, which have gone through hundreds of years, and it is not easy to develop into a medium-sized scholar family.

Maybe Chen Yu, Chen Ji, Chen Chen, father and son are not very famous. However, Chen Ji's sons, Chen Qun and Chen Changwen, are known to the vast majority of people.

It is precisely because of Chen Qun's formulation of the Nine Grades Official Law that the relationship between Cao Wei and the scholars became closer, laying the foundation for Cao Wei to dominate the world. However, the prosperity must decline, and when it came to Chen Qun, the Chen family reached its peak, and finally because of the Nine Grades of Officials Law, the Chen family declined into a cold door, which is the so-called "success and Xiao He defeat Xiao He".

Let's say that Chen Zhong, whom Ye Rong married, is Chen Chen's son and Chen Qun's cousin.

Ye Rong showed a happy smile on her face, and said sweetly: "Since I married into the Chen family, Aunt Weng has treated me kindly, and Uncle Fang has also treated me very well. It's a pity that I have been married to Bo Fang for many years, but I have not been able to open up the branches for the Chen family, although Aunt Weng and Bo Fang did not blame me, but I felt uncomfortable in my heart, so I went to the Taoist Temple today to pray. ”

Guo Jia also had a smile on his face, and said sincerely: "Mrs. Chen is doing well now, and I am also relieved." ”

"Brother Guo, I haven't seen you for many years, let's talk a little more today, how about it? There is a tea shop not far ahead, quite quiet and elegant, the two of us will sit down there and talk again, okay?" Ye Rong generously invited, then looked at Zhao Yun beside Guo Jia, and asked, "Brother Guo, who is this?"

Guo Jia was about to introduce, but Zhao Yun bowed and introduced himself: "The subordinates are Lord Guo's guards!"

After speaking, Zhao Yun stood behind Guo Jia with a respectful expression. Guo Jia's eyes showed a touch of helplessness, but also a trace of gratitude. Guo Jia knew that Zhao Yun saw what relationship he had between him and Ye Rong, and at this time he claimed to be Guo Jia's guard, so he naturally gave Guo Jia a long face, but for Guo Jia, he didn't care about this. However, Zhao Yun can help him raise his identity by lowering his value so much, and if he talks about it now, I am afraid that both parties will be embarrassed, so Guo Jia will not speak.

"Oh!"

Listening to Zhao Yun's words, Ye Rong responded lightly. She originally saw that Zhao Yun's face was quite magnificent, and thought that he was a great person, but at this time, she heard him say that he was Guo Jia's guard, so she didn't pay too much attention to it.

Then, Ye Rong took the maidservant to lead the way in front, Guo Jia and Zhao Yun were behind, and after a while, they arrived at the tea shop in Ye Rong's mouth. Guo Jia and Ye Rong sat opposite each other, while Zhao Yun and the maidservant stood behind Guo Jia and Ye Rong respectively, looking like loyal subordinates.

Putting down the teacup, Guo Jia's expression changed, and he didn't seem to know what to say.

Ye Rong smiled and asked softly, "Brother Guo, I listened to your guards before, but now that you are an official, I don't know where you are serving?"

Guo Jia shook his head and laughed at himself: "But the county magistrate of Dongping County is not an official. ”

The county officials of the upper counties are the official positions of the ninth grade, while the county officials of the middle counties are the official positions of the nine grades, which is the last of the officials, only one level higher than the officials. The county order of Qipin is just a sesame-sized official position, and it is not an official position from Jiupin, and it is also said in the past.

Seeing this, Ye Rong comforted: "Brother Guo, you have only learned people, sooner or later you will be reused, don't be discouraged." ”

Of course, Guo Jia will not be discouraged, now following Yuan Chang, what he will do in the future will definitely be earth-shattering, but in front of the woman he once loved, he showed a disappointed expression.

Subsequently, Guo Jia asked, "Mrs. Chen, can Lingfu be a master now?"

Many scholars in Yingchuan have taken refuge in Jizhou, and most of these soldiers are middle or top scholars, and they can be recognized by others wherever they go. And some of the scholars who stayed in Yingchuan were middle and lower scholars, they did not have much reputation, and once they left Yingchuan, they had to start all over again. However, if they stay in Yingchuan and have the reputation of a Yingchuan clan on their heads, they will invisibly increase their reputation, and then they will be reused by others. However, after many scholars left, Yingchuan was plundered by Dong Zhuo, and many of the children of the scholars were slaughtered, and the wealth accumulated over the years was taken away by the Xiliang army under Dong Zhuo. It's a pity that when Xun Yu left Yingchuan, the land of four wars, those middle and lower scholars did not listen to Xun Yu's words for many reasons, and as a result, Dong Zhuo was cheaper.

Chen Qun's talent and vision are no worse than Xun Yu, and he naturally knows that Yingchuan is not suitable for living when the war is about to break out, so the Chen family is also a member of the refuge in Jizhou.

Ye Rong had a slight look of pride on her face, and said modestly: "Lord Thorn Shi hired Uncle Fang to work in the middle of governance a few days ago, and Uncle Fang felt that his talent was shallow, so he did not reply to Lord Thorn Shi. After that, Lord Assassin sent people to invite him many times, and he had to agree to take office. ”

Even Zhao Yun could see the smug expression on Ye Rong's expression, how could Guo Jia not see it? However, Ye Rong was the woman he once loved, so Guo Jia would not feel unhappy because of this. On the contrary, because Chen Zhong was reused, Ye Rong's life could be better, and Guo Jia was happy for her from the bottom of his heart.

Guo Jia didn't know what Chen Zhong's talent was, and Yuan Shaozhong hired Chen Zhong to naturally fight for the reputation of the Chen family, which is the difference between the scholar family and the Hanmen. Guo Jia once sent it to Yuan Shao himself, but Yuan Shao did not reuse it, and because Chen Zhong had the reputation of the Chen family, Yuan Shao asked him to serve again and again. Guo Jia didn't feel disappointed, but wanted to thank Yuan Shao for not reusing himself at the beginning, otherwise how could he meet a lord like Yuan Chang?

Although they haven't seen each other for many years, Guo Jia and Ye Rong seem to be blocked by a wall, and some words can't be said after all, so after chatting for a long time, the two left separately.

"Zilong, Rong'er was also an innocent and simple woman back then. Perhaps, after staying among the scholars for a long time, the character has become like this, and I hope you don't want to be surprised. ”

Guo Jia apologized to Zhao Yun for Ye Rong's previous ignorance of Zhao Yun's actions.

"You don't have to be like this!"

Zhao Yun shook his head, didn't mind, and said with a smile: "I don't know her well, what does she do to me? Besides, she is married to a wife, why do you have to apologize for her? If Fengxiao wants a woman, let the lord introduce a few for you, and I'm afraid that I won't find a good girl?"

"Zilong, don't laugh at me, I, Guo Jia, as a prodigal son, how can I be sad because of a woman? However, Zhen Tuo and Zhen Dao girl of the Zhen family are quite interested in Zilong, if Zilong has an idea, let the lord pull the line for you. ”

"Haha!"
