Chapter Ninety-Two: Heroic Beauty
Since Guo Jia returned from the defeat of Jingzhou and built Taoyuan Village, five or six years have passed, the scale of Taoyuan Village has gradually changed from a village to a small town, from a small town to a county seat, and the orphans of the fallen soldiers live in it and have a harmonious relationship, and there is a trend of not picking up the leaves and not closing the door at night has gradually formed here.
Happy people have similar happiness, but unfortunate people have different misfortunes, and the people in Taoyuan Village, who seem to be happy, actually just choose to forget or bury their sorrows in their hearts, and do their best to pursue peace and tranquility.
The residents here are basically all orphans and widows, men will take the initiative to move to the county towns around Chengdu when they become adults or start a family, Guo Jia gave them very generous treatment, but not for free, behind all this are those who died in the war with their surnames in exchange for their families.
Orphan girls often marry from Taoyuan Village to others, far or near, they have a rich dowry, Taoyuan Village is now the largest silk weaving production point in Shu County, the handicraft workshop here is very large, every family has Ma Jun improved the efficient textile machine, the businessmen of Shu County want to order the best Shu brocade silk, the first choice must be Taoyuan Village, the rich income allows these lonely people to at least solve the worries of life, the elderly can pin their hopes and efforts on the next generation, or send their children to the hundred schools every day, Or watch your children grow up and start a family.
The help of the strong is sometimes understood as mercy, and people who are sympathetic to each other get together, and the cohesion produced is often unbelievable, the people of Taoyuan Village help each other, regardless of each other, mother and son filial piety, with the old and the young, this is a land that looks desirable but no one wants to join it as a last resort.
Every person who leaves Taoyuan Village after adulthood, whether male or female, they are like the children of Chengren who are nurtured by this land, and here, the most loved and respected by the villagers are Xiao Qiao, Wu Amaranth, and Mi Zhen.
The four fairy-looking women have a high reputation in Taoyuan Village, they have no quarrel with the world, and every time they do good, they look like immortals who have fallen into the mortal world.
There are women to marry, Taoyuan Village has always been lively Zhang Luoying, Taoyuan Village is their maiden home, and everyone who lives here is their relatives.
Guo Jia wanted to marry Xiao Qiao, and the two sisters married together, and the people of Taoyuan Village fell into a happy mood when they learned about it.
In this era, there are few marriages that are in love, only marriages that are right at home, Guo Jia, as a person in power, has no pursuit of love as a prelude to marriage, he wants to marry a woman, and there is no need to die and live The love is very lingering, as the emperor of Yizhou and Guanzhong, Guo Jia said to a woman: Marry me. The other party naturally has the right to refuse, but I am afraid that no one will dare to hit this woman anymore, and no one wants to risk their lives to provoke Guo Jia.
This is the most superficial manifestation of power and status.
Take control of the fate of others.
Guo Jia wants to marry Xiao Qiao, not out of political considerations, it is completely private feelings, and after delaying the two sisters for so many years, it is time to give them an explanation.
Besides, occasionally in the dead of night, Guo Jia will also think of the voices and smiles of the two in his mind.
Marriage means responsibility, Guo Jia likes a dull life, even if it is as plain as water, it is better than the exciting rhythm of life.
He wants to keep Joe's laughter with him instead of giving it to someone else.
This marriage should not be very dazzling, in terms of Guo Jiajin's status, his marriage is indeed a matter that cannot be taken lightly, and whether the marriage can attract the attention of all parties actually depends on the meaning behind the marriage.
Xiao Qiao has no political background, no family background in Yizhou, and is married to Guo Jia as a concubine, this kind of thing will not attract many people's attention, as for the peerless appearance of the second daughter, only the most superficial people will pay special attention to the wedding for this reason.
However, the wedding that should have been dull still became extraordinary, and the people in Taoyuan Village, whether they have been living here or who have moved in later, even the men and women who have married out and gone out have deliberately returned, just to witness the marriage of Xiao Qiao, and their two sisters are like daughters here, the most loved daughters.
The most important thing is that Xiao Qiao's age is already an old girl in the eyes of outsiders, and their marriage has not been settled, which makes those who care about them very worried.
The relationship between Xiao Qiao and Guo Jia is tacitly known to everyone, but the marriage is uncertain, but people have to think crookedly, and they always feel that there will be variables.
The falling flowers are intentional, the flowing water is not ruthless, after so many years of ups and downs, Big Qiao finally had a happy ending with Guo Jia, and what should have been done a long time ago has dragged on to this day, it looks more like Big Qiao has achieved a positive result.
Big and Little Qiao are not outsiders to Guo Jia, and they are more like relatives than confidants, and some people in high positions in Guo Jia's group also very much want to see Big Qiao and Guo Jia grow old together.
Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Gan Ning, Xiao Ren, Xiao Yi, Zhou Tai, they all witnessed Guo Jia hibernating at the foot of Taihang Mountain, and in that period, the people who accompanied Guo Jia through this period of trough, in addition to Cai Yan, there are also big and small Qiao.
In the most difficult years, even small things will be remembered in the bottom of people's hearts, and now the high-ranking generals in the army have long regarded Xiao Qiao as Guo Jia's virtuous helper, they may not be able to give advice to Guo Jia, and they may not be able to kill the enemy for Guo Jia, but only they soothe Guo Jia's low mood every time without outsiders knowing, and encourage Guo Jia to get up and continue to move forward after falling.
The bond between people is because of the past that exists.
Just now, Guo Jin doesn't understand why Guo Ye can mingle with generals like Xu Chudianwei who obviously have "Don't disturb the idlers, don't enter the living" written on their faces, and sometimes even seem to go beyond the category of the eldest and youngest.
That's because Gan Ning and the others watched Guo Ye be born, and Cai Yan accompanied Guo Jia to endure hardships with them, and even Guo Ye had a stillborn crisis at that time, and the generals loved Guo Ye more closely, and people who didn't distinguish between right and wrong would only think that the generals were currying favor with Guo Jia, but in fact they were not.
Guo Jia's past with Xiao Qiao made him sincerely want to marry Xiao Qiao now, and he also said that he would accept Mi Zhen as a concubine, but in fact, he had long forgotten it.
He and Mi Zhen, there is no intersection, there is no common past, he doesn't have to look at whose face to marry Mi Zhen, even if occasionally the beast surname Dafa wants to use Mi Zhen to vent his desires, afterwards, Guo Jia will be responsible, but he is still not salty or indifferent to Mi Zhen, there is such a thing, not that there is something in his mouth, nor that he will have it if he wants to have it in his heart.
Guo Jia is not afraid of letting anyone down, there are some people in his life that he wants to take care of as much as he can, and there are the vast majority of people, who are lost, they are also lost.
I'd rather bear others than others.
Cao Ying's famous words are actually just the voices of at least ninety percent of the people in the world, few people can justifiably say that they are selfless, and those who can be selfless will not put these on their lips to claim to be noble.
Taoyuan Village is crowded with people, and children are crowded around in the crowd, as if they want to see the bride, but they don't even know where the bride is.
Xiao Qiao, who was wearing a big red wedding dress, was dressing up in the room, Mi Zhen was standing behind Da Qiao, and Wu Yuan was standing behind Xiao Qiao, facing the bronze mirror, carefully curling their black hair.
"Sister, why don't you seem to be in high spirits? Could it be that my sister regrets it? ”
Xiao Qiao can wake up with a smile when she sleeps, it seems that the day of her dream came too suddenly, which made her excited, at this time, she should have been more ladylike and reserved, but she looked left and right, the smile on her face was like a summer flower, and her bright eyes flowed with an enviable look.
However, she noticed the unquenchable sorrow in Da Qiao's eyes.
Da Qiao sighed silently and said: "The envoy is in a bad mood these days, and he often pours himself drinks when he returns home at night, and when he is drunk, he will rarely scold the people around him. ”
Guo Jia has a good amount of alcohol and a good temper, which is a recognized thing.
But he gets drunk, and when he gets drunk, he gets angry, which is puzzling and panicked.
Wu Amaranth and Mi Zhen's movements stagnated, and Xiao Qiao's face was bloodless in an instant, and he grabbed Da Qiao's arm pitifully, and asked as if the sky was falling: "Sister, isn't it, doesn't you want to marry me and my sister?" I, I didn't do anything to make you angry. ”
Da Qiao showed a comforting smile, patted the back of Xiao Qiao's hand, and said softly: "You say you're stupid, why are you really stupid, you have something on your mind, and it has nothing to do with you and me." ”
"Could it be that the envoy is still worried about the matter of Gongzi Jin?"
Wu Yuan speculated weakly behind the two sisters.
Guo Jin's matter is actually just a trivial matter, Guo Jia wants to teach the child a lesson, and it is insignificant to outsiders, but Guo Jiagui is the monarch, and when he sneezes, Yizhou will tremble, which will naturally make outsiders think about it, thinking that the turmoil has not dissipated, and the aftermath is still unsettled.
Mi Zhen is silent, in the past few years, except for Guo Jia who took the initiative to visit Xiao Qiao in Taoyuan Village, she can see Guo Jia, and they and Xiao Qiao will basically not take the initiative to see Guo Jia when they return to Chengdu during the New Year's holidays, she also knows that because of the second brother Mi Fang, Guo Jia said that he wanted to accept her as a concubine is actually just for political reasons, and the personal relationship between the two is not even the least equal starting point, but there is a layer of separation, she knows that if Guo Jia really wants to take her back to the house one day, if it is not for Guo Jia ** who wants to try it, I'm afraid it's because she has a use value, this is her life, and countless women in this era have a similar fate.
Mi Zhen looked at Wu Amaranth with a sad face at this moment with envy, Wu Amaranth was simply like a blank piece of paper, she couldn't hide her thoughts, and she couldn't hide her emotions, she never said a good word to Guo Jia, but the people around her knew that she admired and longed for Guo Jia very much, she would not be able to eat because of Guo Jia's disadvantaged situation, and she would also show a smile like a spring breeze because she heard that Guo Jia had won the battle, and her admiration and fantasy for Guo Jia was probably not a secret.
Heroes love beauties, beauties love heroes, Mi Zhen also has a hero complex like a talented woman in this era, but her dream has been completely shattered after Mi Fang exchanged her for glory and wealth.
