Chapter 106: Empress E's Daughter
The war between the princes is often a-for-tat confrontation between the two protagonists, but as both sides of the parties, they cannot ignore the princes watching the drama around them, once the bystanders become spoilers, the variables of the battlefield will increase sharply, such a situation, even the weaker side does not want to see.
Chen Qun's words of complimenting Guo Jia came to his mouth and swallowed them back, and he could see that Guo Jia had no good impression of him.
He couldn't think of the reason, but at this moment, he had to be cautious, and even a little trembling.
He is the messenger, representing Cao Ying, saying the wrong word and doing the wrong thing, it will have a major impact.
Bowing his head slightly, he didn't even look directly at Guo Jia, Chen Qun put on a posture of resignation and said to Guo Jia sincerely: "Make Jun Yan heavy, here is entrusted by General Cao, so that Jun Long Xiang looks at the tiger, and rushes to the four seas, General Cao has been admiring the general's divine power for a long time, although the Jun is in Jincheng, General Cao has lived in Xudu for a long time, but he has been friends with Jun and Shen for a long time. ”
Kiss on kiss?
Guo Jia smiled secretly in his heart: I have never kissed Cao Ying, how can I kiss and kiss?
There was no emotion in his expression, Guo Jia said lightly: "Although I am not as full of wives and concubines as General Cao, I also have five wives and concubines, if I take another concubine, I am afraid that I will miss the other party for life. ”
Anyway, it is impossible for Cao Ying to come to Chengdu in person to pay tribute to Guo Jia, so it can only be a marriage.
There were also Zhang Song, Peng Yi, Fei Shi, Zhen Yao and other Yizhou officials, and when they heard Chen Qun's words, they all shook their heads slightly, and their chuckles were quite ironic.
If Cao Ying only had such means to deal with Guo Jia, then Cao Ying would have nothing to fear.
Chen Qun hurriedly said to Guo Jia: "Envoy, what General Cao means is to hope that his daughter will marry your son with Envoy Jun, and this family business will be fulfilled by you." ”
Everyone in the room looked weird.
Guo Jia is not yet thirty years old, it stands to reason that the marriage should also be aimed at Guo Jia, Cao Ying does not play cards according to common sense, what are the benefits of the marriage of the next generation?
Only Guo Jia, who was sitting on the main seat, pulled the edge of the big curtain and scolded Cao Ying bitterly in his heart.
There was an incident before, there was a wealthy family in Yizhou who wanted to make a baby kiss with Guo Jia, hoping that Guo Jia's daughter would marry the descendants of the local wealthy family after more than ten years, Guo Jia reacted very fiercely, not only refused, but also publicly declared that he would not beat his daughter's idea.
A son is married, a daughter is married, and the meaning is different.
Cao Ying wanted to marry Guo Jia, and saw that Guo Jia would not sacrifice his daughter because of politics, but Cao Ying could sacrifice.
Putting aside the emotional factors of both men and women, can Cao Ying's daughter, Guo Jia's son, marry? Yes, but it will be a trouble in the future, if Guo Jia's son is not able to properly deal with this trouble, it will not only be a family nuisance, but I am afraid there will be unexpected disasters.
"Oh? General Cao's daughter? Who is it? ”
Guo Jia asked Chen Qun nonchalantly.
Chen Qun hurriedly introduced: "A famous constitution, a famous festival, and two daughters are six years old this year, and they are now staying at the city station. ”
Emotionally, the rest of the people here don't have too many fluctuations, patriarchy is the mainstream thought, Cao Ying is also a tyrant who loves to kill and brutally slaughter the city, giving up his two daughters in exchange for political interests, it is normal, in essence, Cao Ying's behavior is at least more acceptable than selling children and selling daughters to cannibalism.
Guo Jia was surprised, Cao Ying was really resolute and resolute without dragging his feet, and he only picked a word about the marriage, so he asked Chen Qun to send his daughter, and it was the two of them.
After thinking about it, Guo Jia asked again: "Which son are these two daughters going to marry me?" ”
Common sense, it should be Guo Ye, because Guo Ye is old, he is now twelve years old, and he can get married in two or three years, even though the men's crown ceremony is generally held at the age of twenty, but the wealthy and powerful often do not have this limitation, and it is common for the children of wealthy families to start a family at the age of fifteen.
Chen Qun, who suddenly had no follow-up, lowered his head, as if he was thinking, as if he was afraid that what he said would anger Guo Jia.
Guo Jia now has only two sons, Guo Ye and Guo Jin, one is a concubine and the other is a concubine, and there is a big difference in who they marry.
The audience focused, Chen Qun raised his head and said with a lack of confidence: "Before leaving, General Cao entrusted you, if you don't give up the king, you might as well marry each of these two daughters to make the king a son, so, how about it?" ”
The serious atmosphere became a little lighter in Guo Jia's sneer.
"I have two sons, and Cao Ying will send two daughters over to marry one son each, what if I have three, four, five sons? Is Cao Ying just sending more daughters over? Changwen, I also want to kiss and kiss, but you also have to understand that my sons are married to Cao Ying's daughter, if Yuan Shao also comes to marry me, if he is also married to a daughter, then will I let Yuan Shao's daughter be a little at that time? ”
Marriage has tacit rules, Yuan Shu wooed Lu Bu, and the condition was that Lu Bu's daughter would be the crown princess, if Guo Jia married Cao Ying, the status of Cao Ying's daughter could not be low in the first place, if Guo Jia's sons all married Cao Ying's daughter, the backyard of the Guo family was equivalent to becoming the inner house of the Cao family, such a situation, did Guo Jia want to see it?
As for what the sons think, that's another matter, their innate status and identity, often lose part of their freedom, in this era, it is very common for men to have three wives and four concubines, and it is common for wealthy and powerful families to have a few political marriages, this point, Guo Jia is not exempt from vulgarity, otherwise he would not have accepted Mi Fang's refuge.
Chen Qun's face was covered with cold sweat, he raised his arm to wipe the sweat on his forehead, he also knew that his proposal just now was very excessive, and could even be understood as ill-intentioned, almost self-defeating.
I don't know when this troubled world will end.
Cao Ying is aging, Guo Jia is now in the prime of life, but what about ten years later? Twenty years from now?
One day, the princes who are now standing on the peak stage will hand over the hegemony to the next generation.
Guo Jia's son marrying Cao Ying's daughter now may not have any effect, but what about twenty years later?
Heroes often don't just look at the present, and what they think is often far more than the average number of times, and if you think about it in a year, I may have thought about it ten years later.
Settle for less.
Chen Qun was afraid that his proposal again would anger Guo Jia, so his tone weakened a little.
"The two daughters of the Xianjie can follow the example of Empress E's daughter, in terms of age, the two are similar to the son of Jin, when the son of Jin grows up, the two daughters will marry together, so that the king will be?"
The matter of sisters working together as a husband has existed since ancient times, and the famous one is Empress E's daughter, and Xiao Qiao is now also working together as a sister, this kind of thing, there is nothing morally reproachable.
bowed his head and fell into contemplation, Guo Jia now understands that Cao Ying probably wanted his two daughters to marry Guo Jin from the beginning.
Cao Ying didn't send his older and unmarried daughters, but sent two daughters who were about the same age as Guo Jin, and the purpose was very obvious.
Guo Jin is Guo Jia's sister-in-law and Cai Yong's apprentice, and he is also very smart, and his thin name has long been spread in Yizhou.
With this background, compared to Guo Ye, who is tepid and a concubine, Cao Ying probably takes it for granted that Guo Jin will definitely be Guo Jia's heir in the future.
Zhang Ren, who was waiting for dispatch outside the hall at any time, was called in by Guo Jia.
"I'm tired of bringing Jin'er here."
Not long after, Guo Jin was led into the lobby by Zhang Ren, and after Guo Jin stepped into the hall, he first respectfully saluted the adults present on the left and right, which made the Yizhou officials nod frequently.
"Father, what is the matter with the child?"
Guo Jin is a cheerful child, even on this occasion, he is not timid, and asks Guo Jia directly when he opens his mouth, his voice is full of confidence, with a bit of innocence that a child should have.
Guo Jia beckoned to him, and after he walked to the side of the main seat, Guo Jia took his hand and looked at Chen Qun, and said with a smile: "This is Chen Qun Chen Changwen, your father had some friendship with him in his hometown back then, and now, he is an official of Xu Du, this time he came to visit Chengdu, he wanted to be a matchmaker for Cao Ying's daughter, do you want to marry a daughter-in-law?" ”
Guo Jin's eyes lit up, and he gave Chen Qun another salute, and after Chen Qun returned the salute, he also smiled and said: "Young Master Jin is young and knowledgeable, and his demeanor is outstanding, and he has the heroic posture of the envoy back then, and he will become a great weapon in the future." ”
Guo Jia heard that the roots of his teeth were sour.
But he didn't care, Chen Qun just said beautiful things in front of him, and patted Guo Jia's ass in disguise.
In terms of sons, Cao Ying's sons are all outstanding, Cao Zhi is a capable writer, Cao Ang Cao Zhang is a martial artist, Cao Chong, who died early, is a rare prodigy, and Cao Pi is good at power.
"Jin'er, do you know why Cao Ying wants to marry her daughter to you?"
Guo Jia half-hugged Guo Jin's waist and asked with a light smile.
Guo Jin turned his head and said to Guo Jialang: "Because Cao Ying is afraid of his father, he is afraid that his father will beat him, so he wants to win over his father by marrying a daughter." ”
Hehehe, many people in the hall couldn't help laughing.
A seven-year-old child can see through Cao Ying's intentions.
Chen Qun was embarrassed and barely laughed a few times.
What Guo Jin said is the truth, if Cao Ying is not afraid of Guo Jia, there is no need to marry the two families.
Guo Jia asked again: "Jin'er, since you know that Cao Ying married her daughter to you for a purpose, do you still want these two little daughters-in-law?" ”
Hearing Guo Jia's question, Guo Jin asked suspiciously: "Yes, why not?" Didn't my father say that if you have a advantage, you don't take advantage of it...... Well, anyway, I want as much as I want, and those who come don't refuse, the more the merrier, hehe. ”
Guo Jia hugged Guo Jin into his arms and laughed.
The other officials in the hall were also amused by Guo Jin's words, and the person who laughed the most reluctantly must be Chen Qun.
Guo Jia let go of Guo Jin and said to Chen Qun: "Changwen, you also heard my son's words. I agreed to this marriage, as for Cao Ying's daughter, I am not interested in seeing it, you want to bring people back to Xuchang and send them back in ten years, I don't mind. ”
Chen Qun arched his hand and said with a bit of solemnity: "Since the two daughters are already the future daughters-in-law of the envoy, Chengdu and Xuchang are far away, and the two daughters still stay in Chengdu and are taken care of by the envoy. ”
Chen Qun lowered his voice like this, but only got two cold words from Guo Jia.
"Sending off guests."
