Chapter 309: There is no reason to meet in the side room

Coming to the gate of Feng Ji's house again, Guo Jia did not pretend to faint this time, and walked into the mansion accompanied by Xu You.

Ever since Xu Yu left earlier, Feng Ji has been waiting here for him to bring Guo Jia.

got a report from the attendant, saying that Guo Jia was coming, and Feng Ji instructed him to invite him to a side room in the outer courtyard.

The host receives the guests, and there are generally several places to choose from.

The most common is in the front hall of the home, where guests are mostly more formal, not particularly close, but also respectful.

It is relatively rare that in the study, the guests who can enter the master's study to meet must be very close to the owner of the house, otherwise it is not possible to be invited to the study as a guest.

Even less common is the side house in the front yard.

The partial house, undoubtedly, is nothing more than a very inconspicuous cottage in the house.

Rooms like this were mostly occupied by servants, and were rarely used to receive guests.

Feng Ji's family will have a side room that is used to receive guests, just because he has a high status in Hebei, and many people want to get in touch with him, so that there are fewer obstacles when doing things.

Like the kind of person who tries to get involved, Feng Ji usually meets him in the side room in the front yard to show that he doesn't want to see him.

Even so, there was an endless stream of guests who came to visit his home, which gave Feng Ji a headache.

Sitting in the side room, Feng Ji didn't wait for a while, and heard the servant report outside the door: "Lord Qiqi, Guo Fengxiao came to ask for a meeting." ”

"Ask him to come in." Feng Ji greeted.

Commanding the door, he waited for a moment, but no one walked in, and he couldn't help but be puzzled.

Looking at the closed door, Feng Ji shouted again: "Why don't you invite Guo Gong to come in and talk?" ”

The servant's reply came from outside: "Report to the lord, Guo Gong refused to enter the house, saying that he wanted to meet the lord outside." ”

Since he had already come, Guo Jia refused to enter the house, which made Feng Ji feel a little puzzled.

He stood up and walked to the door.

When he opened the door, he saw Xu You standing outside with Guo Jia.

Guo Jia also worked as a staff member in the Yuan family in his early years, but later felt that Yuan Shao was not able to use his master, so he abandoned his official position and returned to his hometown, and was later activated by Cao Cao.

Since he has done things in the Yuan family, of course Feng Ji also knows him.

Looking at Guo Jia, Feng Ji asked, "Since Feng Xiao is here, why don't you come into the house to talk?" ”

Guo Jia arched his hand and said: "If it was a few years ago, I would have walked in, but now I must not enter this room, please understand." ”

"What do you mean by Bonghyo saying that?" Feng Ji frowned slightly: "Are you disgusted with my partial house here?" ”

"Feng Gong also said that this is just a partial room." Guo Jia replied: "Although I don't know how to be polite, I also know that when I meet guests, I should show respect in the front hall. In the side room, I just met some low-class people who did not enter the stream, and I came to Yecheng this time as an envoy of the Cao family. If you walk into this room, what is the face of the Cao family? ”

He then asked Feng Ji again: "Could it be that Feng Gong is really looking forward to being an enemy of the Cao family?" ”

was bluntly questioned by Guo Jia, but Feng Ji was a little at a loss.

With a smile, he said to Guo Jia: "I meet a lot of people here on weekdays, but I didn't expect a lot. If it weren't for Feng Xiao's reminder, I almost lost my courtesy. ”

"Bong-hyo, please come to the front hall to speak!" Feng Ji gestured and personally led Guo Jia to the front hall.

Feng Ji originally planned to give Guo Jia a dismissal, but he didn't expect to be robbed by Guo Jia.

The upper hand that he originally possessed was lost because of a small mistake, so he had to lead Guo Jia to the front hall.

Entering the front hall, Feng Ji sat down in the first seat first, and then greeted Guo Jia and Xu You: "Fengxiao and Ziyuan, please sit down too." ”

Guo Jia and Xu You thanked each other, and the two sat on the floor on either side of the room.

"Feng Xiao's intention to come to Yecheng, Ziyuan has already told me before." After taking his seat, Feng Ji no longer detoured, and directly cut into the topic: "I won't tell you, I really think that the Yuan family should go to crusade against the Cao family first, clear the obstacles to cross the Yellow River, and then Tulu Bu." ”

"When Gong Feng said this, did he admit that the Yuan family had a plot against the Central Plains?" Guo Jia asked Feng Ji.

"The world is in chaos like this, my father-in-law has the sincerity of helping the big man, and he has to do something." Feng Ji replied with a calm smile: "Cao Mengde has a large army, can't my lord ask him to hand over the military power, and he is willing to do that?" If you want to unify the world and revitalize the Han family, the only way is to wave troops to conquer. ”

Guo Jia listened expressionlessly as Feng Ji expressed his opinion, and did not interrupt.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Feng Ji continued: "Today's world has been chaotic, and in the troubled times, the law of the jungle is the strong. Our Yuan family is strong enough, isn't it possible to fight whoever you want? ”

"Not necessarily." Guo Jia finally shook his head with a smile, and he said to Feng Ji: "For now, our Cao family is indeed not the opponent of the Yuan family. But the Yuan family wanted to cross the Yellow River and defeat the Cao family, but it was not so easy. Once the two sides are at war, it will be as little as three or five years, and at most decades, the war will be endless, and the people will not talk about their suffering, but they will give benefits to the other person in vain. ”

"The person Feng Xiao said, but Lu Bu?" Before he could say who it was, Feng Ji had already revealed Lu Bu's name.

"What kind of person does Feng Gong think Lu Bu is?" Guo Jia did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically.

Feng Ji thought for a while and said: "Lu Bu fled Chang'an back then, and he also came to Hebei for refuge. I don't have a very deep impression of him, but I know that he is very brave but rarely strategic. A little benefit can turn him against him. It is precisely because of this that the lord knows that he has the ability, but he still wants to destroy him. Out of fear, Lu Bu fled from Hebei to Xuzhou, and Feng Xiao should know better than me about what happened later. ”

"Since then, has Feng Gong seen Lu Bu?" Guo Jia asked again.

Feng Ji shook his head: "If he doesn't come to Hebei, how can I see it?" ”

"Do you know how old Lu Bu is now?" Guo Jia asked again.

"To say the least, there are also lent away." Feng Ji replied: "When he came to Hebei, he was already in his thirties, and now after all these years, he should have passed forty years. ”

"It really should be like what Feng Gong said." Guo Jia shook his head with a smile: "After the Battle of Xiapi, Lu Bu went to Xudu, and I also saw him there. He should have been forty years away, but now he looks like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy. Has Feng Gong ever thought about how to explain the past? ”

I had also heard rumors about Lu Bu's youth overnight, but Feng Ji never believed it too much, and Guo Jia suddenly proposed, which surprised him: "What Feng Xiao said is true? ”
