Chapter 102: Iron Heart
Baijiu only became popular in the late Qing Dynasty and modern times, but even in the era of rice wine, Shanxi's Fenjiu is still famous at home, especially the old liquor.
Last time I made a bet with Wang Hou that if his 5,000 acres of Zhongtian could collect 80,000 stones, Guo Jia would quit drinking, but during the autumn harvest, they all followed Cao Cao to the east to conquer Lu Bu, and when they came back, they began to pay their debts.
No tricks, asking him to quit drinking is like asking him Guo Ghost to die, Wang Hou is right, quit food and wine, but a few pots of wine or something this year are about to catch up with his monthly salary, how can he be enjoyable? After arguing and shouting for a long time, the final condition was that as soon as Wang Hou showed up, he couldn't drink!
So tonight Wang Hou took the initiative to invite him to drink, and he drank the old Fen wine that had been aged in Bingzhou for three years, and he would not go to work tomorrow.
Don't underestimate rice wine, in this era, rice wine can be regarded as the highest level of wine, or aging, the alcohol content is not thirty, and there must be more than twenty to drink until about eight o'clock in the evening, a sentence is still stolen from Wang Hou, life must be happy, don't make Jin Zhukong's sour words to the moon After shouting, Guo Jia chirped this goods, and he held the wine bowl and lay under the table.
After blowing the "international situation" with Guo Jia all night, and arguing about the Shilin people's belongings for a long time, Wang Hou was also slightly drunk at this time, staggered and stood up, walked to Guo Jia's side, and pushed Guo Dajunshi a few times in a row, he laughed and shouted.
"Guo Fengxiao, get up, don't pretend to be dead, and continue to drink! Aren't you known as the hero of the wine country? ”
But he really drank too much, turned around, Guo Jia even snored, and slapped his old face again, making sure that the product was drunk and confused, but the smile on Wang Hou's face gradually converged.
Lifting the curtain hanging in the living room, a cup of turquoise bubbling liquid had already been prepared there, after picking it up, Wang Hou raised his head suddenly, grunted and dried up, and the next second, he staggered out of the door with his throat covered in great discomfort, and spit out in the flower bed on the side.
The stomach was about to be vomited, but after turning it over, Wang Hou was obviously a lot more sober, and his steps were no longer vain, and he walked back to the house with an uncomfortable face, wiped his mouth with a towel on the table, and then Wang Hou set up Guo Guicai's arm that was paralyzed on the ground like a drunk cat, and helped him to the backyard.
…………
Fenjiu is really good, his throat is not dry after drinking, his head doesn't seem to hurt so much, only an old waist seems to be sore, his butt is still sore and sore, confused, Guo Jia is like rubbing his waist under the activity, but he pumped his hand, he didn't pull it out, he didn't pull it out again, he didn't pull it out, he was anxious and sweaty, and he finally opened his eyes with a dizzy head.
"Yuan Shao didn't call! But Fengxiao, you told me about those things just now, but it's troublesome! ”
It was really a clever person who came to his senses, seeing that Wang Hou actually put on his set of chain mail with cold forging armor inlaid on the outside again, and was tidying up the iron gauntlets one by one, Guo Jia was shocked and suddenly wanted to stand up, but this time he didn't stand up and didn't say anything, and brought down the unique big chair on Wang Hou's mansion.
That's right, he was sturdy and tied to the chair by Wang Hou.
However, in Wang Hou's eyes, the beautiful little girl is worthy of a thin bundle, using a rope to outline every beautiful part of the figure, in the helpless binding of the little hands behind the back, that is called a work of art, Guo Jia, the big man, is purely called a bundle of pigs, the big thick rope is wrapped around him like a thread, and the hands are directly inserted on both sides of the body, the head smashed to the ground, the pain of this thing snorted, Wang Hou looked helplessly stopped the work at hand, reached out and helped him up.
"I said Brother Fengxiao, you can't be honest, it's really not good, I'll put you on the bed, and in a few hours Lan'er will come over and let you go!"
"Calm down! The prime minister dedicated the Red Festival to His Majesty, and he also had a hard time! Think about the official position you have obtained now, your achievements, your family, and your clansmen of the Taiyuan Wang clan, don't do stupid things! ”
"The prime minister really wants to marry the emperor on the Red Festival! Tomorrow morning's send-off team, sure enough, she was sent! ”
Wang Hou's pupils flickered, he pinched his chin and nodded, and then knocked his head sadly, Cao Hongjie! He should have thought of it sooner! She is the second of the three Cao sisters who were married by Cao Cao to Emperor Han Xian in history, and finally became the Empress of Emperor Han Xian! When Hita Hunt saw the three sisters of Cao Hongjie going out on a safari together, he should have thought about it, but at that time, his mind was full of how to recommend Zhao Yun, and he forgot about it!
Guo Jia, who watched him in this scene, was also sad and couldn't wait to slap himself, he should believe in his wine, even if he was drunk, he didn't say anything! This is good, in the end, it is exposed!
Full of anxiety, Guo Jia persuaded again.
"Tuqiu, the prime minister really needs you! Don't look at your cowardly and afraid of death and your character is not good, but the prime minister really needs someone to coordinate the rear for him, Xun Yu can't do this, he is too biased towards the family! Cheng Yu and I can be Zhang Liang! And Xiao He, who compares you to the prime minister, is not talking about it for a while! ”
"You're talented! Are you willing to bury yourself on the long street on impulse, and still have the name of rebellion? ”
"Reuse! Hehe! ”
At the mention of this, a rich sneer appeared on Wang Hou's face, full of annoyance, and he turned his head suddenly.
"The prime minister reused Wang so much that he refused to even marry, and used the red festival to transfer my Wang Tuqiu to work for him, and in the end he actually dedicated her to the emperor! Brother Fengxiao, the prime minister really looks up to me Wang Hou! ”
"Wang Hou, why did you say this! Except for the Cao Hong Festival! Where did the prime minister treat you badly? As soon as you become a small official, within a year, you will be promoted from a penniless person to a thousand stone masters! There are tens of thousands of lands and thousands of servants, who are cited as close ministers, and the prime minister even believes in you more than Xun Yu, an old minister, not to mention Xu Du, the princes of the world, who can be like you? Ask yourself! ”
Guo Jia was also on fire, his neck was bruised, and he roared angrily, but for a while Wang Hou couldn't help but be dumbfounded, but after a long time, Wang Hou still shook his head heavily.
"Then why is the prime minister unwilling to marry Wang Hou to me on the Red Festival? If I am valued so much, how can I not be worthy of her? ”
"If it's the eldest lady Hongxian, the third lady Cao Honghua, which one, in fact, the prime minister will be happy to marry you, but Miss Hongjie can't!"
Beads of sweat were rolling out of his head, and Guo Jia was helpless to explain in the chair.
"You have also seen the three sisters of the Cao family, the eldest lady is weak and resourceless by nature, and she is not suitable for a place like the palace where there are many intrigues! Miss Three is too small! If you want to stabilize the emperor and watch the emperor, only the second lady Hongjie has this wrist and courage! ”
Waving his sleeves and pointing to the door, Guo Jia said annoyed and anxious: "Then Dong Cheng, you don't see it, a straw bale!" But why did he gather so many outlaws from the family to serve him, and he was not dressed as a relative of this layer! The Prime Minister's move is also to stabilize the whole situation! The prime minister's hegemony does not belong to himself, but also to you, to me, Guo, and to everyone! The prime minister is willing to sacrifice his three daughters for everyone! You are an outsider, what a thorn in your eyes here! ”
"In order to appease you, the prime minister even recognizes Lu Ji as a righteous daughter, even if he breaks the tacit understanding of the rules of the family, he will also nominate you as the head of the Jinyang Wang family and glorify your lintel, isn't it enough?"
This time, Wang Hou was completely speechless, lowered his head, he sat on the chair quite silently, but unfortunately, in Guo Jia's arms back into the rope sleeve, in the gloomy gaze, Wang Hou still shook his head.
"I'm sorry, Brother Fengxiao, my Wang doesn't have such great ambitions, and even very unproductive, the only ambition is to have a hot kang head for his wife and children!"
"You don't have it now!"
"The wife must be Cao Hongjie!"
Guo Jia was helpless to pull his head, and when he said that, he knew that he couldn't change Wang Hou's decision no matter what! Holding his fists, Wang Hou also said quickly and hurriedly.
"Wang has made a promise with the Red Festival for the end of life! If Wang doesn't die tonight, the grace of the prime minister and Brother Guo, he will be rewarded in the future, if Wang dies today! This house needs to please Brother Guo! Leave! ”
With a heavy bow, Wang Hou put on his big cloak in a chic manner, carried a gun and a sword, walked out of the room with firm steps, looked straight at him and locked the door, looked back at the old jar thrown on the ground, pulled out his right arm, and patted his head sadly, Guo Jia is depressed shaking and heavy head.
"It's time to quit drinking!"
…………
In fact, Wang Hou really wants to thank Cao Cao, because he found all this, in fact, it was Cao Cao's credit, he gave Wang Hou the power of the Taiyuan Wang family in Xudu, and let him know how powerful the feudal family was in these years.
There are about two thousand large and small officials and generals in Xudu, even if some are implicated by the prince's suit, there are still as many as one hundred and six Taiyuan Wang clans who are officials in Xudu, accounting for one-twentieth, although the official positions are not large, but they are distributed in all corners of Xudu, and in the Taiyuan Wang family, he, the fake head of the family, is even more powerful than Cao Cao's right to speak!
From the night when Cao Hongjie missed the appointment, Wang Hou began to investigate, and he had already noticed the clues of the Prime Minister's Mansion preparing for marriage, it was estimated that it was Guo Jia's idea, and the night when Cao Hongjie comforted him, it strengthened Wang Hou's conjecture, first, it was impossible for Cao Cao to send Cao Hongjie, a little confused with tendons, to perform any important tasks alone, if there was really something, he would definitely have to be fattened! Second! The sorghum land appointment they agreed on was when the sorghum was in full swing in autumn, and they were so eager that it showed that the Cao Hong Festival was running out! Third: When Cao Hongjie left, the Langya phase arranged for him!
Langya is not a county, at this time, the power of the Han family has long been weakened and there is no difference between the rich man, and Langya is equivalent to Langya Taishou.
It is a place far away from the battlefield, and there is a Langya Wang clan in the place, a branch of the Taiyuan Wang clan at the end of Qin hundreds of years ago, after all, there is a relative, and the one who controls the army is still Sun Guan, who is considered weak and has no idea among the Taishan thieves, in terms of situation, Langya is a good place to wait and see, at the moment when the decisive battle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao is on the verge of breaking out, Cao Cao may put his big housekeeper in such a far position to play soy sauce?
Then it must be Cao Hongjie who paid some price to get it for him!
Since coming to this era, Wang Hou has been fighting for his head to stand on his neck, but today, let a woman he loves sacrifice in exchange for his own high-ranking officials and a stable life, Wang Hou found that it seems that even if his head is firmly hung on his shoulders, he will still be uneasy in the future, and he will carry a heavy burden in his heart.
It's time to play with your precious head! Facing the moon that had been faintly falling, Wang Hou couldn't help but take a heavy breath of the cold in the air, making his mind clearer.
"You've figured it out!"
Holding the sword and dangling out of the corridor, Zhao Yun was humming lazily.
