Chapter 39: Premarital Etiquette
Xun Yu's departure, Gao Ye did not stay, and even played a role in fueling the trouble. After all www.biquge.info Xun Yu already had the idea of leaving a year ago, and he still persuaded him hard to leave him for the time being to help him govern Yingchuan for a while. So this time, Gao Ye really didn't have any reason to keep him Xun Yu again. Besides, in order for himself to be able to join Cao Cao smoothly, it would be good for him to go to Cao Cao first to make a front stop.
Based on Gao Ye's understanding of Cao Cao, if he knew that Gao Ye had the intention of taking refuge in him, he would definitely take the initiative to recruit him. In Guo Jia's words, the people who take the initiative to send it to the door are not necessarily rare, but they will definitely treat it as a treasure if they ask for it themselves. Sometimes people value not the value of the person or the thing itself, but the difficulty of getting their hands on it.
Moreover, Gao Ye is now the Taishou of Yingchuan, and he is really a real prince, so it seems unreasonable to go to Cao Cao, who has no place to live now, with such a shy face. It's one thing for Cao Cao to recruit himself, it's another thing for him to take refuge in himself, and Yingchuan Taishou's face is also something to worry about.
Therefore, under Gao Ye's order, Guo Jia and Xun Yu completed all the work in hand in only three days, and Xun Yu completely withdrew from the officialdom of Yingchuan. Even if he didn't get the support of anyone in the Xun family, he still resolutely took a few domestic servants and left Yingchuan in a carriage, preparing to go to Dongjun to meet Cao Cao, the Ming lord in Gao Ye's mouth.
Xun Yu left in such a hurry that even his uncle Xun Jing didn't expect it. Originally, although Xun Jing did not support Xun Yu's choice, he did not oppose it as strongly as other children. Although he didn't know who Cao Cao was, judging from his deeds, he was also a loyal Han person. Besides, Xun Chen has already voted for Yuan Shao, and it is common sense for Xun Yu to vote for others, and Xun Jing naturally understands the tendo of troubled times that eggs cannot be put in the same basket.
Xun Jing and Cai Yong have a hot relationship recently, on the one hand, the two of them are old friends, and secondly, they are both talented Confucians, and now they have the opportunity to intersect sooner or later, and it is also a matter of course for the relationship to be enhanced. By now, the two have almost become inseparable. Cai Yong is okay, his wife has passed away a long time ago, and his only daughter is still living in Gao Ye's house. But Xun Jing is different, his old wife is still alive and has many children, but now he is studying and lecturing with Cai Yong all day long, and even his wife complains that Xun Jing is going to live with the academy for the rest of his life.
However, this is a family matter of the Xun family, although Xun Chen told him about his mother's complaints, and asked Gao Ye to persuade Xun Jing to take care of his body, but Gao Ye really had nothing to do. This Xun Chen is Xun Jing's son, and his talent is also brilliant, and now he is also an official in Yingchuan, and what he does is the vacant Cao Shi after Xun Chen left. He also knows that this kind of family matter will only make it difficult for Gao Ye to do, but there is no way, his mother's fate is difficult to disobey, Xun Jing is about to be fifty this year, where can he stand such hard work every day?
"Wenda, it's really not that I don't help, this uncle's business, where can I, as a junior, manage it." Gao Ye couldn't help but say helplessly, it seems that Xun Jing's old wife is also completely helpless, so she rushed to the doctor, came to find herself, the Yingchuan Taishou, and the friends of the Xun family came to help. But how can I help myself, I can't persuade Xun Jing at all, so where can I care about other things? I can't forbid him to watch it, not to mention whether Cai Yong will turn his face with himself, even Xun Jing can't stand it if he turns his face with himself. only then did he ask Xun Jing to propose to him, and as soon as he turned his face, didn't he have to ask for others again?
"Well, I know that too. Isn't this a mother's fate, you can persuade it, adult, and your mother won't blame you if you can't persuade it. ”
"Alas, these two old men are really, they plunged headlong into the Dongguan book collection, and it was difficult for me to even want to meet them! By the way, I asked your old man to help me propose, how about it, did you mention it? Gao Ye hurriedly changed the topic, saying that it was difficult for Qing officials to cut off family affairs, and he still didn't get involved in such things. It's more reliable to ask yourself about your life's events.
"Don't worry, I didn't just come today because I was entrusted by my mother. In fact, the main purpose of my visit is that my father asked me to tell you that the gift of Nacai has been completed, so you should quickly send someone to Cai Shi to do the gift of accepting the name and asking for good fortune, and Cai Shi is waiting! ”
"Okay, okay, I'll let Feng Xiao go on my behalf. Anyway, this kid is preparing to return to Yangzhai, so let him do it for him by the way. Cai Shi likes this kid the most, and it's no problem for him to go to the quasi-insurance. Gao Ye nodded and said, this name and auspicious gift are all one of the weekly rites, although Gao Ye wants to go in person, but he is the groom's official, how can he do it in person? I'm going to go in person, maybe Cai Yong will criticize him for being rude. Forget it, just leave it to Guo Jia, in the end, he is his own brother, and he will never pit himself.
Facts have proved that this is indeed the case, Guo Jia personally went to Yingchuan Academy, visited Cai Yong, and helped Gao Ye to accept his name and ask for auspicious gifts. Not only do you have to change it, but you also have to worship God after you change it. It is said that it is to worship God, but in fact, it is the ancestors of each family who worship it. After accepting the name, I have to ask Ji, that is, to find a fortune teller, to calculate whether the eight characters of the birthday are appropriate, anyway, there are a lot of rules. It's just that Gao Ye knows that asking Ji is just a formality, is the fortune teller saying that it is unlucky, and he won't get married? Besides, if any guy dares to say something unpleasant, he will definitely have the urge to kill his whole family.
Guo Jia actually burst out with strong energy at this time, running before and after Gao Ye's marriage, he was very busy, even Gao Ye didn't expect that Guo Jia, who had always been lazy, suddenly changed his temperament! It's weird, but it's really nice to have someone to help you and just wait for the good time. But after thinking about it, Guo Jia's kid is also twenty years old this year, and Zhao Yun is also nineteen, and they are all at the age when they should get married. I don't know what kind of daughter-in-law Guo Jia and Zhao Yun will marry?
In fact, thinking of this, Gao Ye couldn't help but laugh dumbly, maybe this is the best expectation and fantasy for the younger generation as an elder. Although he is only their sworn brother, the eldest brother is like a father, how can he not worry about the marriage of his two younger brothers? The most important thing is that there is no record in the history books at all who the wives of the two people are, and if they knew, it would not seem difficult to help them. Guo Jia is okay, it is said that his wife is the daughter of the later Wei general Dong Cheng, and I don't know if Uncle Dong Guo was beheaded by Cao Cao, whether this daughter is still alive and easy, after all, in this legend, Guo Jia has a concubine, but Cao Cao's sister. As for Zhao Yun, it's even worse, there is not even a legend! all know that he has two sons, Zhao Tong and Zhao Guang, but there is no record of who his wife is.
Alas, such a thing, let's go with the flow. has his own eldest brother to support the two of them, and the wives they take the two of, even if they are not peerless beauties like Diao Chan, they have to be a beautiful lady! Especially his two younger brothers, each of them has the ability, and after taking refuge in Cao Cao, it is estimated that there will be a lot of marriages, so just wait for yourself.
As for the busy Guo Jia, he didn't expect that Gao Ye would now start planning for his marriage. He is now working inside and out, asking Gao Ye's servants to prepare the bride price. It is said that according to the standard of the emperor's acceptance, it is only a hundred catties of gold and twelve horses, so Gao Ye, the Yingchuan Taishou, can naturally be less. And according to the rules of etiquette, it really must be less than this number.
It's just that both Guo Jia and Gao Ye don't attach much importance to things like etiquette. In addition, now that even the Han court has run away, it is not a strange thing that the etiquette collapses when the wind and rain are in turmoil. If it weren't for Cai Yong's emphasis on etiquette, Gao Ye would have been ready to directly invite relatives and friends to dinner, and he would have mixed up the matter of marriage.
Therefore, Gao Ye told Guo Jia that the golden horse is a thing recorded in the etiquette, and the meaning is fine, Cai Yong loves books and paper the most, so he will give more when the time comes. By the way, the previous year ago, the public said that they had thoroughly mastered the production method of glazed utensils, and they could also give more glazed utensils.
When Guo Jia heard this, he naturally nodded again and again, just went out, and ran back: "Big brother, when I get married, you have to send me more good things." You know, our Guo family is now very damaged, but there are not many good things to give as gifts, and it will all depend on the eldest brother when the time comes. ”
"You! Didn't you say I wouldn't send it? Not only you, but also Zilong and Wenyuan, who have always been my brothers in Gao Ye, you get married, will I not care? And you, you have made your Guo family rich, and after learning from me for so many years, you can't even have the ability to support your family. ”
"In that case, thank you big brother. I don't want more, the sale of glass utensils, the eldest brother will hand it over to me, rest assured, I will leave forty percent of the income for the eldest brother, and I will fill my Guo family with sixty percent, which is enough......" Gao Ye couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard this, really, he still wanted to help him, but he didn't expect this kid to be waiting for him here! That's a glass ware, all shining and transparent, at a glance it is worth a lot, but the cost is pitiful. Guo Jia takes this thing, even if he only sells it for a year, it is estimated that he will be able to earn back another Guo family.
"You! If you have something, you can't say it directly, you have to play with me. Want to sell? Yes, but I have to tell you first, this thing, the price will not be good for a few years, and when the time comes, don't say that I cut off your financial route. ”
"No problem, big brother, you can rest assured. Anyway, if you follow my eldest brother in business, I will definitely not lose money, so I can rest assured. By the way, I went to find someone to divinate for you, it is said that the fourth day of the ninth month is a good day, how about it, according to this day, I will go to Master Cai to ask you to go? ”
