Chapter 305: The Greedy Promise
Xu Chu left the building, asked someone about Xu Yu's residence, and ran straight over.
Not long after returning from the court meeting, Xu You heard that Guo Jia's deputy envoy Xu Chu asked to see him, and he was muttering in his heart.
Yuan Shao has arranged for Feng Ji to meet Guo Jia, Guo Jia's deputy envoy is not there Feng Ji, but he ran here to see him, which is really incredible.
Suspicious, Xu Yu instructed the servants to take Xu Chu into the house.
Xu Chu entered the room and arched his hand to Xu You: "I've seen Xu Gong." ”
"I heard that the general is also surnamed Xu." Xu You looked at Xu Chu, and secretly shocked the majesty of this person and asked at the same time.
"Xu Chu under the command of Duke Cao." Xu Chu reported his name and surname.
"You and I are still the Honzong." Xu You smiled slightly: "Dare to ask if the general is not by Guo Fengxiao's side, what are you doing here to see me?" ”
"It was Fengxiao who asked me to ask for Xu Gong." Xu Chu replied: "On the way to Yecheng, Fengxiao often mentioned Xu Gong to me and said that Xu Gong had a lot of benefits. He originally planned to come to visit Yuan Gong after seeing him, but he didn't expect that he would be sick when he arrived in Yecheng because of the bumps along the way and the wind cold. He didn't have a few good people in Yecheng, only Xu Gong was often concerned by him. ”
When Xu Chu said these favors, although Xu You didn't interrupt him, the expression on his face was very flat, as if he didn't disagree at all.
Seeing the indifference on her face, Xu Chu said according to Guo Jia's explanation: "Fengxiao also prepared a generous gift for Xu Gong, but unfortunately he suddenly contracted an illness and couldn't send it to the door, I'm afraid that only the wronged Xu Gong went in person." ”
Sure enough, when he heard that Guo Jia had brought him a generous gift, Xu You's face turned better.
He said to Xu Chu with a smile on his face: "Fengxiao is too polite, when I came to Yecheng, I should have picked up the wind for him, but he actually prepared a generous gift for me." With such affection, if I refuse, won't I sweep away the interest of filial piety? If you don't shirk it, it's useless......"
"Fengxiao misses Xu Gong very much, I don't know if Xu Gong is willing to move?" Xu Chu asked.
There is a generous gift waiting for him, where will Xu Chu refuse.
He said to Xu Chu: "Please also ask the general to lead the way!" ”
After greeting dozens of guards, Xu You followed Xu Chu out of the house.
When he came to the door of the building, he didn't know which room Guo Jia was in, so Xu You shouted: "Why didn't Fengxiao say hello in advance when he came to Yecheng, if General Xu hadn't gone to tell me, I wouldn't have known that the old man was ill here." ”
Xu You's tone sounded sincere, but after listening to what he said, Xu Chu's brows couldn't help frowning slightly.
Obviously, he was willing to come over because he heard that there was a generous gift, which would pretend to care about Guo Jia very much.
Entering the building, Xu Chu led Xu You to the door of Guo Jia's room.
The door opened, and Xu You couldn't wait to rush in.
Hearing someone open the door, Guo Jia opened his eyes and pretended to be weak to greet Xu You: "Ziyuan is here." ”
"Bonghyo, what's wrong?" Walking quickly to Guo Jia, Xu You asked with a concerned face, "Fengxiao, what's wrong?" Could it be that when you come to Yecheng, you are also unaccustomed to the water and soil? ”
"Maybe it's a cold on the road." Guo Jia pretended to cough twice, and said to Xu You: "I was going to visit Ziyuan after meeting Yuan Gong, but I didn't expect to come to Yecheng and actually fell ill." Now Yuan Gong and I can't see it, if I wait until I recover, I don't know how long it will take to meet Ziyuan, so I ask General Xu to go and invite. ”
"Fengxiao has a heart." Holding Guo Jia's hands, Xu You said: "When you come to Yecheng, Fengxiao just treats this place as if you are home, if you need anything, arrange someone to tell me, and I will send someone to buy it for you." ”
When it came to what was needed, Xu You deliberately accentuated his tone.
Knowing what he meant, Guo Jia said to Xu Chu who was following the room: "General Zhongkang, there is a red one in the box we brought, you send a guard to carry it over." ”
Hearing that the box was going to be carried, Xu You's eyes suddenly lit up.
But he was shirking: "What is Fengxiao doing?" You came to Yecheng, and I should have come to entertain you. Why did you put away your generous gifts? ”
"It's not a big gift." Guo Jia said: "It's just some of the thoughts I brought to Ziyuan. ”
When the two were talking, Xu Chu had already retreated.
In a few moments, he walked in with two guards carrying the boxes.
Motioning for the guards to retreat, when only Xu You, Xu Chu and him were left in the room, Guo Jia said to Xu Chu: "Please also ask General Zhongkang to open the box for me." ”
Xu Chu opened the seal of the box and opened the lid.
When the box was opened, Xu You saw the contents inside, and his eyes, which were originally shining, suddenly revealed obsession.
The box was not small, and it was full of jewels and jade treasures, and just by looking at it, Xu You knew that these things must be of great value.
"Feng Xiao ......" looked at the treasures in the box, although Xu Yu was greedy, he didn't dare to accept it immediately, he hesitated and asked Guo Jia: "Such a heavy gift, is there anything important that I need to do?" ”
"Actually, it doesn't matter." Guo Jia said: "I just want to ask Ziyuan to send a gift to Feng Ji ......."
"Feng Xiaoke, don't give him a gift." Hearing that Guo Jia was planning to give a gift to Feng Ji, Xu You waved his hand again and again: "Which two people have Yuan Gong relied on the most in recent years, I must have heard of Feng Xiao." ”
"I did hear about some." Guo Jia replied: "In the past two years, Yuan Gong has been very careful to re-examine Zhengnan and Fengyuan Tu. When I came to Yecheng, Yuan Gong didn't plan to meet me personally, but asked me to meet Feng Yuantu......"
"Is Bonghyo not sick at all?" Before Guo Jia could speak, a slight smile appeared on the corner of Xu You's mouth: "Since you are looking for me to discuss important matters, and you still pretend to be sick, I'm afraid it's not very good." ”
"Now that Ziyuan can see it, I won't go around the bend anymore." Guo Jia grinned as if he was very embarrassed, and asked Xu You: "Duke Yuan ordered Feng Yuantu to see me, is it that he has been setting up a crusade against my lord." ”
"Feng Xiao is a shrewd person, and some things can be seen through without clicking." Xu You said: "Duke Yuan ordered Feng Yuantu to see you, precisely because he has always advocated the crusade against the Cao family. If you go to see him today, there will be an argument. If you are humble in his face, Feng Yuantu will definitely say that it is reasonable to crusade against the Cao family. If you win him, you'll offend him. That's why you pretended to be sick and invited me here, just to ask me to go and see Fengyuan Tu first on your behalf. ”
"The only one who knows my heart is Ziyuan." Guo Jia got up and made a big gift to Xu You, and said to him: "I can't make any other promises, I can only promise Ziyuan, if this matter is done, I will send a generous gift to thank him." ”
