Chapter 92: Greed for Life and Fear of Death
Guo Jia and Jia Xu drank each other in the gazebo, pushing the cup and changing the lamp, accompanied by loud laughter in their free speech.
When there are thousands of cups of wine for confidants, Guo Jia and Jia Xu hit it off at first sight, and they can keep up with each other's thinking and express their opinions freely, which is a joy in life.
None of them talked about Wang Yun's self-mistake again, because they both understood that Wang Yun ended up being destroyed, not because Wang Yun was selfish and ambitious, Wang Yun was a loyal minister, but he didn't have the ability to turn the tide, what about the three dukes? To rule the troubled times in the world, extraordinary people are needed.
"When you make you recuperate in Yizhou, are you waiting for the sky?"
Jia Xu figured out Guo Jia's spleen surname, and he did not shy away from and reserved his words.
Pointing at Jia Xu and shaking his head and chuckling, Guo Jiajing gave him a cup, nodded after drinking, and said: "That's true, Mr. should understand that when I entered Yizhou, it was not only a last resort, but also forced by the situation. ”
Jia Xu stroked his beard and smiled, and said: "As long as the ambition of the king is not reduced, within ten years, he will go out of Yizhou." ”
Shaking the wine glass gently, Guo Jia didn't answer, all he had to do now was to wait for the opportunity to appear, as long as he was not tempered by the wind and snow, he would not be satisfied with being in a corner of Yizhou.
"What are your plans for the future, sir? If you are interested in becoming an official, the Yizhou government is waiting for you at any time. ”
Guo Jia looked at Jia Xu gently.
Jia Xu's face did not change, but he smiled bitterly in his heart: chatting with this young man sometimes hides a sharp edge.
If Guo Jia really wants Jia Xu to become an official, then he will not ask, and the direct appointment is, whether Jia Xu accepts or rejects, it is Jia Xu's choice.
But Guo Jia just said this sentence, if Jia Xu should accept it, he would inevitably fall behind.
Jia Xu can understand Guo Jia, because Guo Jia's selection and employment of talents is through the imperial examination, and if Jia Xu is directly appointed to Yizhou Mansion as an official, it will be true.
A sentence that came out of Guo Jia's mouth with the intention of solicitation, but in fact, it rejected people for thousands of miles, how could Jia Xu not taste this meaning?
In the silence, Jia Xu's expression was as usual, but in his heart he was already planning to transfer to other princes, even if he spared his life, he was not a person who was poor and happy, and he was full of talent and wanted to have the opportunity to show his talents.
Will you wait until next year's Yizhou imperial examination? Jia Xu is nearly forty years old and doesn't want to waste a minute.
"Sir, if you have no intention of pursuing a career, I have a reluctant request."
Just when Jia Xu was silent, Guo Jia smiled again and said a word.
After thinking about it, Jia Xu somewhat understood Guo Jia's intentions.
Guo Jia wants his contribution, but he also has to be justified.
"Oh? Please speak. ”
Jia Xu wanted to see what kind of compromise Guo Jia had.
Guo Jia turned his head and ordered someone to bring Guo Ye here, and after a while, Guo Ye, who was sweating profusely, held his head high, walked steadily outside the pavilion, and looked at his panting appearance, he should have been practicing martial arts before.
"Sir, this is my eldest son, named Guo Ye, I want to ask you to be his husband, I usually say that I am busy with business and neglect to discipline, this child is now decent, too honest, I am worried that he will suffer a loss in the future, so I want to ask Mr. to teach him."
Jia Xu didn't expect Guo Jia to give him such an errand.
This errand is not good, but it is extremely enviable.
The problem is that Guo Ye is not Guo Jia's sister-in-law, Jia Xu went to be Guo Ye's teacher, if Guo Jia didn't like this son in the future, wouldn't Jia Xu's situation be very embarrassing?
However, Jia Xu also knew that if Guo Jia didn't like Guo Ye at this time, he would definitely not let him teach Guo Ye.
Moreover, being Guo Ye's teacher is equivalent to working for Guo Jia, without real power and official position, whether or not he can participate in the secret is between ambiguity, the key is Guo Jia's attitude.
Guo Ye is young, his expression is neither humble nor arrogant, as Guo Jia's eldest son, he is extremely solemn when he salutes Jia Xu, his eyes are clear, and there is no perfunctory or false at all.
The impression of the first meeting, Jia Xu was very satisfied with Guo Ye, and after thinking carefully, he agreed to Guo Jia's proposal.
As Guo Ye's division commander, Jia Xu can live behind the scenes, so as not to become the focus, the so-called line is higher than people, everyone must not, the wood is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it, Jia Xu wants to display his talents, but he also wants to keep a low profile.
Now, Jia Xu understands Guo Jia's intentions, and although teaching Guo Ye is not a pretense, it cannot be said that the purpose is simple, and more importantly, he hopes that Jia Xu will be a hidden staff member in the court.
After thinking about this, Jia Xu felt that Guo Jia was a wonderful person, and he really figured out his mind clearly, he wanted to keep a low profile, Guo Jia didn't give him a prominent official position, he wanted to display his talents, and Guo Jia kept him by his side.
As for vulgar things such as gold, silver and jewelry, Guo Jia naturally will not treat Jia Xu badly, and Jia Xu will not open his mouth to ask for it, everyone understands people and tacitly understands them.
"Make the gentleman beautiful, but it is disrespectful. In the future, he will carefully teach the eldest prince. ”
Jia Xu gave Guo Jia a bow, but Guo Jia waved his hand and said: "Since Mr. is willing to teach him, then not only his honorable elder, but also his teacher, if he is stubborn and difficult to teach in the future, but please tell him, I will not embarrass Mr." ”
"Ye'er, come and see Mr."
It is not Guo Jia's idea to let Jia Xu teach his son, he has been looking for a suitable person to teach Guo Ye, both civil and military cultivation is talent, but it depends on scheming to behave in the world.
The heart of defense is indispensable, and people who are too upright will suffer in front of villains, so Guo Jia hopes that his son will learn to guard against people and figure out the thoughts of others on the road of growth.
Cai Yan can't teach, although she is a talented woman, she still underestimates people's hearts, she can see the overall situation clearly, but always ignores the details.
Cai Yong can't teach it, he can teach Guo Ye to be a gentleman, and if he wants to survive in a world of deceit, it is not enough to rely on Haoran righteousness.
As for his subordinates Xi Zhicai, Xu Shu, Qin Mi, Fa Zheng and others, they all have important positions, and Guo Jia doesn't want to increase their burden, not to mention that some of them have their own children.
Jia Xu, who sees through the hot and cold state of the world and speculates about people's hearts, is a good candidate, as for whether Jia Xu will teach Guo Ye to be a little fox, Guo Jia is not worried, because how to teach, what to teach, the shrewd Jia Xu should be able to grasp the measurement.
As Guo Ye's division commander, Jia Xu can enter and leave Guo Jia's mansion at will, and indirectly is Guo Jia's staff, and when he needs to be used, Guo Jia will not ignore his existence.
After properly arranging Jia Xu, everything went according to plan.
In the summer, Guo Jia wanted to build a swimming pool in the house, but in order to avoid falling into the crowd and taking the lead in enjoyment, he had to compromise and expand the bath slightly.
Soaking in the clear water of the bath, Guo Jia lay on the edge of the stone wall, closing his eyes and thinking about his thoughts.
The door was pushed open, and a person came in, Guo Jia turned his head to look, Cai Yan, who was only wearing a light gauze shirt, walked slowly with bare lotus feet, a charming delicate body looming under the pink clothes, and a beautiful face with a faint smile.
Cai Yan stepped into the bath, walked behind Guo Jia, gently picked up Guo Jia's hair, and gently brushed him.
"The gentleman that the husband invited Ye'er doesn't seem to have any skills."
Cai Yan's tone was a little playful, she knew that Guo Jia would not invite a useless person to teach Guo Ye, but she observed for a while and found that what Jia Xu taught Guo Ye was no different from what she taught.
"Don't worry about this, he's very capable. If Ye'er can learn his three skills, I will be satisfied. ”
Guo Jia is still lying on his stomach, he is still young, but he and Cai Yan have already passed the passion period of **, and now they feel a little like they are working together in the future.
After combing his hair, Cai Yan's front body stuck to Guo Jia's back through the light veil, and reached out to massage his shoulders vigorously.
"Husband, do you know that there is a person in the city that the husband would never have imagined." Cai Yan leaned down and gently bit Guo Jia's earlobe.
Guo Jia opened his eyes suspiciously, and sneered: "There are so many famous people in the world, who comes to Chengdu is enough to surprise me." ”
Cai Yan withdrew his body, continued to massage Guo Jia's shoulders hard, and said with a light smile: "Then the concubine will remind her husband that this person is a woman, and her husband knows her." ”
Now Guo Jia was really aroused by curiosity, except for the time when he wanted to see Zhen Jiang deliberately climbed over the wall and entered the hospital, he did not take the initiative to hunt for beauty, there are many beautiful wives and beautiful relatives around him, most of them are the result of unintentional willow insertion, as for other women, he really hasn't provoked it, after all, it is a troubled time, if it is a peaceful and prosperous world, he is estimated to be determined to be a swinger brother.
"Can't guess. I have seen countless women, but there are only a handful of them in my heart. ”
Cai Yan grinned and continued to sell Guanzi.
"That person is an old acquaintance of the Qiao sisters, and Big Qiao and Little Qiao have to call her sister."
Guo Jia pursed his lips and said: "Qiao Gong was also a well-known big family in Yangzhou before his death, how can I know the sister of Big Qiao and Xiao Qiao?" ”
The movement of his hand stopped, Cai Yan wrapped himself behind Guo Jia's back, pressed against his cheek, and said softly: "The north of Yangzhou, the east of Yanyu." Can't you guess it? ”
She?
Guo Jia couldn't help frowning, turned around and hugged Cai Yan's waist, the two were close together, their foreheads were against each other, Guo Jia asked with some surprise: "Mi Zhen?" She came alone? ”
Guo Jia knows, Xiao Qiao calls her sister, and in Xuzhou, Guo Jia can only think of Mi Zhen.
But Mi Zhen can't come to Chengdu alone!
Cai Yan's fingertips lightly swiped across Guo Jia's chest, and said with a playful smile: "Doesn't the husband think that Mi Zhen is here to find a lover?" ”
Guo Jia scoffed, he was not conceited and narcissistic to that point, Mi Zhen came to him? Hehe, it's just a fantasy.
"Daughter-in-law, I found that I was too gentle with you, and now you dare to laugh at me, hehe, bear the consequences."
grabbed Cai Yan's buttocks violently with both hands, Guo Jia pinched hard, Cai Yan breathed a little, involuntarily stood on tiptoe and leaned his neck towards Guo Jia, and glanced at Guo Jia charmingly.
"Oops, it hurts."
Hurt?
Does it hurt to make such a sultry sound?
"Why the hell is she in Chengdu?" Guo Jia tilted his head with a wicked smile on his lips.
Cai Yan was short of breath, her face flushed, and as Guo Jia's body rubbed back and forth slightly, the movements under the pool water made her eyes like silk, and she wanted to refuse and welcome.
"Mi Zhen was brought to Yizhou by her second brother Mi Fang, if the concubine didn't guess wrong, Mi Fang betrayed his eldest brother Mi Zhu!"
Holding Cai Yan and turning around, Guo Jia reflexively pressed her against the edge of the pool, clinging to her back.
"Interesting, interesting, it seems that there are many people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, Xuzhou is surrounded by strong enemies on three sides, Mi Fang doesn't want to follow Liu Bei to fight the world with his eldest brother, but he came to Yizhou, hehe, he hasn't seen a woman before?"
Cai Yan was pressed by Guo Jia, and the bathroom echoed loudly, she tried her best to cover her mouth that she couldn't silence because she clenched her teeth, mixed with moans.
"Husband just hasn't seen a woman!"
