Because it was just an ordinary day, there were not many people who came to the Heavenly Master Palace to pray for blessings and worship God, and they went up the stairs in twos and threes, Guo Jia's arrival did not cause confusion, and there was no fanfare to drive away the people's behavior.

The mountain is high and the road is dangerous, stepping on the stairs, some people find out about Guo Jia's arrival, whether they know Guo Jia or not, they will automatically get out of the way and flash to the side, for fear that the collision will hinder the unjustified disaster of this wealthy and powerful family.

Seeing that he was about to come to the Heavenly Master Palace halfway up the mountain, Da Qiao suddenly said with Guo Jia's support: "Huh? Husband, isn't that Miss Wu in front? ”

My Fair Shadow was close in front of her, less than ten steps away from Guo Jia and his wife, perhaps it was Da Qiao's voice that came into Wu Yuan's ears, and she turned her head suspiciously, dressed in ordinary clothes and holding a package.

What caught her eye was Guo Jia and Da Qiao, who were under the escort of the guards, Wu Yuan was dizzy for a while, and the steep angle made her suddenly lose her center of gravity and fall down.

call

Wu Amaran, who was in a bit of a trance, was hugged by someone, raised his face in confusion, and found himself leaning against Guo Jia's chest, and Guo Jia breathed a sigh of relief.

"I have long told Zuo Laodao to build a handrail on the edge of this staircase, and every time I prevaricate with the reason that the road of seeking the Tao requires sincerity, it is strange if you fall down so high and do not cause trouble."

Looking at the towering Heavenly Master Palace, Guo Jia felt helpless, the hundreds of steps to the Heavenly Master Palace were too thrilling, and the slightest accidental fall would definitely be either death or injury, some accidents would happen here every year, but Zuo Ci refused to build another stone handrail for people to caress on this road.

"Miss Wu, it doesn't matter, right? Go up the mountain from here, and never look back, especially if you are afraid of heights. ”

Guo Jia pushed Wu Yuan away from his arms and helped him up, and asked with concern.

Da Qiao, who was holding Guo Yu, also walked over, looked at Wu Yuan in shock, and asked, "Are you okay?" There is still a short way, let the husband help you up, otherwise if there is a good one, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

Wu Amaran took a step back, lowered his head and shook slightly, and thanked Guo Jia softly.

The three of them went up the mountain together, and the Taoist boy at the gate of the Heavenly Master Palace recognized Guo Jia and immediately trotted back to the Taoist temple to report to Zuo Ci and Yu Ji.

Zuo Ci and Yu Ji immediately went out to greet them when they learned about it, but the two old Taoists with smiles on their faces were greeted by Guo Jia's scolding of his head and face.

"You two veterans, you should also think about the people, right? Come on, come on, you stand at the door and look down, just look down for half an hour, you don't get dizzy and fall, just think I'm making trouble unreasonably. Young people also have fear of heights, not to mention the elderly, if their legs and feet are inflexible, if they stumble and roll down this mountain road, will they come to your Taoist temple to seek blessing or suffering? ”

Zuo Ci and Yu Ji looked embarrassed.

They are unwilling to build a convenient facility to go up the mountain, and the high-sounding explanation is naturally that it is not easy to seek the Tao, and they want outsiders to come here to change their mentality, if they want to put it bluntly, it is nothing more than to create an ethereal environment and deepen the awe and visual sense of awe of ordinary people here.

"What the little prince said is that after a while, he will start to let his disciples do this."

Guo Jia had mentioned this matter calmly before, Zuo Ci prevaricated in the past, and now Guo Jia brought up the old matter again and looked like a teacher asking guilt, Zuo Ci couldn't be perfunctory anymore.

Yu Ji took Da Qiao and Wu Amaranth to do things, and Guo Jia followed Zuo Ci into the palace hall to listen to Zuo Ci's preaching.

Da Qiao and Wu Amaranth who prayed for blessings and wishes were very pious, and they did not dare to have the slightest disrespect for the ethereal gods, whether Yu Ji was pretending to be a ghost or really doing something, anyway, although a Dharma service was not earth-shattering, it also made people's hearts more awe-inspiring.

Yu Ji cast a spell in style, and the blessed peace charm was sent to Da Qiao, who smiled like a flower, put the peace charm on Guo Yu's neck with a red rope, and bowed his head to kiss the sleeping baby on the forehead.

Wu Amaran looked at Da Qiao with some envy, Yu Ji handed her two peace charms, she handed one of them to Da Qiao, and said softly: "Little sister is here to ask for a blessing for Yu Gongzi, but I didn't expect to meet my sister unexpectedly, this peace charm, I hope my sister will not dislike it." ”

Da Qiao stretched out his hand to take it, and also hung it on Guo Yu's body, looked at Wu Yuan gently, and said, "Miss Wu has a heart." I thank you for your kindness on behalf of this child. ”

Wu Yuan shook her head, picked up the package she was carrying and walked out, Da Qiao still had to leave Ji Ji to do the next ritual dedicated to Guo Yu.

Huh......

Guo Jia sat cross-legged in the palace, and Zuo Ci, who was a fairy and a bone, was preaching the scriptures and discussing the Tao.

"Change with your original surname, that is, go along the way; Standing in the midst of difference, wandering in the realm of Datong, it is in the avenue...... Well? If the little prince is tired, why don't you go to the guest room to rest for a while? ”

Zuo Ci didn't care when he saw that Guo Jiaxing was not high, anyway, Guo Jia had always been so excited when he heard the sermon.

Guo Jia stretched his waist and looked at the sky, just after noon, he was not sleepy, but he was a little hungry in his belly.

"There's no need to rest, Zuo Lao Dao, arrange a table of side dishes, I haven't had a drink with you for a long time."

Zuo Ci grinned and immediately went down to prepare.

Guo Jia, who was in the hall, stood up, and just wanted to go out and take a look outside, when he suddenly saw Wu Yuan standing by the door with a package.

"Is Miss Wu here to find Zuo Laodao? He's gone to the backyard, why don't I help you get him? ”

Wu Yuan lowered his head, hugged a package in his arms, his two jade arms trembled slightly, and beads of sweat were already oozing from Guo Jia's face, which he couldn't see.

"Make, make you, this, this is the clothes made by the little sister herself, hope, I hope that the king can accept it, if it is not in line with the king's wishes, then, then throw it away."

Wu Amaran held the package and presented it to Guo Jia, his head still hanging, and even beads of sweat were dripping down.

She originally planned to go to Chengdu after coming and going to the Heavenly Master Palace, and gave Guo Jia this dress that took her half a year by the hand of Da Qiao, but today's chance encounter made her muster up the courage to stand in front of Guo Jia for the first time.

Seeing her nervous and stiff movements, Guo Jia sighed slightly in his heart, and suddenly remembered the feeling of hugging her when he went up the mountain, soft as boneless and fragrant.

Reaching out to take the package, Guo Jia said softly: "Thank you Miss Wu for your kindness." ”

A big stone fell in his heart, Wu Yuan never dared to look at Guo Jia, and turned away after saying goodbye softly, with brisk steps and a graceful back.

After going down the mountain in the evening, Guo Jia did not ride in the same carriage with Jia Xu, but sat opposite Da Qiao in the carriage, and Da Qiao found the package Guo Jia was holding in his hand, which was obviously the thing that Wu Amaranth was holding in his hand.

"Husband, don't you open it and take a look?"

Da Qiao smiled intentionally as he spoke.

Guo Jia faced the package on his legs, his face suddenly became a little solemn, raised his head and looked at Da Qiao seriously, and asked, "I'm really curious, why would my woman encourage me to mess with flowers and grass with an expectant look?" You are like this, Wen Ji is like this, Jiang Er often mentions Dao'er and Tuo'er in my ear, why? Do you really want my wives and concubines to be in groups? ”

Da Qiao didn't expect Guo Jia to be so solemn, and facing Guo Jia's gaze, Da Qiao said softly: "The celebrity Zheng Xuan once said: Women's virtue is also chastity. The husband is the heaven of the concubine and the sisters, with the status of the husband today, the first thing that the concubine and the sisters think of in their hearts is the Guo family, and there are groups of wives and concubines? The concubine body does not agree, how many wives and concubines does Yuan Shao have? How many wives and concubines does Cao Ying have? The prosperity of the Guo family is the luck of the family, but since the husband Jun became a family, there is only this little blood for more than ten years, and the concubines and sisters are afraid that the descendants of the Guo family will be thin, shouldn't the husband marry a few more concubines for the family? If there is no successor in the future, won't the concubines and sisters be the sinners of the Guo family? ”

Feudal etiquette kills people.

Guo Jia realized that he had asked a very stupid question!

This era is an era in which class etiquette rules people's hearts, not an era in which the mind is open and the pursuit of freedom and unfettered.

From the very beginning, there has been no such thing as equality in human rights, from personal freedom to ideological shackles, between men and women, between high and low, there has never been an equivalence.

A woman marrying a man is a vassal, there is no right to point fingers, and not jealousy is a very important part of women's virtues, and a woman who is full of jealousy and competition for favor is often criticized and criticized in the world.

From another point of view, it is the greatest credit of women in this era to bring vigorous incense to the husband's family and make the husband's children and grandchildren full of family harmony.

The concept of free and reciprocal love is not even non-mainstream, and single-minded men are called infatuation, some people praise and some admire, but they will never become a dogmatic model erected in this era.

"Husband, Miss Wu's true feelings, the concubine is very moved, and I don't want the husband to miss her, if a woman like her can only be lonely for a lifetime, the concubine will feel distressed."

Da Qiao looked at Guo Jia and was open and honest.

Accepting concubines, accepting one and two, there is no difference, anyway, it is natural to have multiple concubines, and there is no need to carry the chastity archway around when you are a bitch.

Guo Jia's concubine or not is often from the heart, in the face of Wu Amaran's intentions, Guo Jia is a little shaken, and the impression left by the fate of several faces, Wu Amaranth always gives Guo Jia a simple and beautiful feeling.

She is silent, and she may not be very good-natured, but this time she gave Guo Jia a piece of clothing, which seemed to make Guo Jia's heartstrings tremble slightly.

At that moment, he seemed to have returned to his previous life, facing the purity of a girl who had just fallen in love and confessed her heart.

When I opened the package, it was a beautifully handmade light white sleeved robe, and on top of the robe, there was a peace charm.

"It turns out that the other one is for the husband."

Da Qiao looked at the peace charm and thought for a moment.

Wu Amaran only asked for two peace charms, one for Guo Yu and one for Guo Jia.

Holding the peace charm in his hand, Guo Jia leaned on the carriage and closed his eyes, and after being silent for a long time, he said softly: "When Wu Yi comes back, I will talk to him." ”

Big Joe smiled gently.

But she didn't know that Guo Jia, who was closing her eyes at the moment, was struggling fiercely in her heart.

Life is like chess, white clouds and dogs. Since the chaos in the world to the present, the number of people who have died unexpectedly has been countless, Guo Jia is determined to achieve hegemony, when it should be despicable, when it is time to sacrifice someone's happiness, perhaps, it should not be soft-hearted.
