"Sister, Ye'er is competing, why don't you go?"

In the backyard of Guo's mansion, in addition to Guo Jia's wives and concubines, Zhen Tuo and Zhen Dao were also present.

With needles and threads in their hands, they were busy sewing dresses for Guo Jia's New Year's celebrations.

The New Year is coming, there are always countless celebrations up and down inside and outside that require Guo Jia to appear, although Guo Jia is not extravagant, but it is not to the point of pretending to be poor, there are a lot of gifts of silk and satin in the treasury of the house, but for Guo Jia to sew clothes, often with medium fabric.

Cai Yan is actually not good at needlework, so he just helps to collect the thread, facing the problem of Zhen Tuo, Cai Yan smiled and said: "The official's family didn't go, how can I be embarrassed to cheer for my son?" ”

Zhen Tuo didn't understand Cai Yan's thoughts, she said softly: "If it's my child, no matter what others think, I will be there in person." ”

In the past two years, Zhen Tuo and Zhen Dao have suddenly become demure, although they still run to Guo's mansion twice in three days, in the name of Zhen Jiang, in fact, who to see, everyone is tacit.

They no longer pestered Guo Jia, just took a look at Guo Jia in the dark, Guo Jia was tired, came up to rub his shoulders and beat his legs, Guo Jia was thirsty, poured tea and water, Guo Jia was hungry, personally sent food and food to him, sneezed and asked them to take two clothes to keep Guo Jia warm, if he sweated a little in summer, the two of them would silently fan him on the side.

Anyway, they don't talk much anymore, and express their hearts with actions.

Seeing this, Xiao Qiao stepped forward and snatched the needle and thread from her hand, and persuaded: "Sister, let's go back to the room to rest, you are pregnant, don't bother." ”

Da Qiao was about to open her mouth to refuse, but Zhen Jiang, Cai Yan, and Diao Chan also persuaded her in unison, but Da Qiao was not stubborn, so he left the room obediently.

Xiao Qiao looked at Da Qiao's gradually bloated figure in a daze, his eyes were very complicated, a little lost and a little envious.

"Did Xiao Qiao see that her sister was pregnant, so she was so envious?"

Zhen Jiang quipped.

Faced with the ridicule of several women, Xiao Qiao admitted it calmly, and said with a little annoyance: "It's a pity that my stomach is not angry." ”

Little Joe looked at his flat belly and was frustrated.

At this time, Cai Yan suddenly said: "I think my husband has something to hide from us." ”

The women stopped what they were doing and looked at Cai Yan in puzzlement.

It is impossible for Guo Jia to tell them everything, they are all clear about family affairs, and they have never interfered in official affairs, and the concept of concealment is a little vague.

Cai Yan tilted his head slightly and thought about it and said: "Even if it is an ordinary family, it is common for a wife and concubine to give birth to several children, but over the years, I have only given birth to Ye'er, and my sister only has Jin'er, Diao Chan has Yingying, don't you think it's strange?" ”

Giving birth to children, the ancients had a very heavy feudal superstitious thinking, sometimes relying on the will of heaven, sometimes relying on the number of fate, anyway, women who can't give birth to children will be attacked to varying degrees, or words or actions, and even some families divorce wives and concubines.

Zhen Jiang Diao Chan didn't have this idea before, and felt that giving birth to children was a blessing from God, and no matter how much it was, it was also God's favor.

But Cai Yan felt very strange, other princes, such as Cao Ying, had many wives and concubines, and many children, especially Cao Ying's sons, more than twenty, even if they didn't count daughters, counting, Cao Ying's wives and concubines gave birth to nearly two children on average.

Among Guo Jia's wives and concubines, each of them did not have a second child after giving birth to a child.

"Could it be that the husband can control a woman to have children?"

A look of surprise suddenly appeared on Xiao Qiao's face.

If Guo Jia has this ability, then she must pester Guo Jia at night to make her pregnant.

Cai Yan smiled bitterly: "This, I'm not sure about this, but is it a coincidence?" ”

It is indeed not a coincidence, even though Guo Jia does not have the ability to make a woman pregnant, at least he has a lot of experience in contraception by understanding the menstrual period of his wife and concubine.

This kind of thing, Guo Jia is too lazy to explain to them, the ready-made true knowledge wants Guo Jia to say a theory, he can't do it, anyway, when is the woman's ovulation period and conception period, he can know, the specific reason and why he knows, it is not clear with his mouth.

It is a happy event that the house is full of children and grandchildren, but Guo Jia does not have so much energy to teach children, and he does not pursue the flourishing of incense, every wife and concubine has the right to be a mother, if she is pregnant, then Guo Jia will avoid having sex during her fertile period in the future.

There are many children, there will be more rights and wrongs in the future, treating everyone equally is just a beautiful and objective idea, people have feelings of likes and dislikes, after the children and grandchildren grow up, Guo Jia will inevitably have a favoritism.

Zhen Tuo and Zhen Dao looked out of place in the face of the topics discussed by Guo Jia's wives and concubines, and the two put down the needlework in their hands happily and retired in a low voice.

Out of Guo's mansion, the two daughters looked at each other and sighed.

Stepping on the way back to the house with a heavy heart, Zhen Tuo and Zhen Dao didn't know that they had been targeted by a group of people in the shadows.

As soon as they turned the corner, the two were surrounded by more than ten people, Zhen Tuo and Zhen Dao looked at this group of uninvited guests, seeing that their appearance was obviously not Han, but they were wearing Han clothes, and the two who knew that something was wrong were about to shout, but they were covered from behind.

The woman dressed in ordinary people's clothes stood behind the second daughter, covering Zhen Dao's mouth from left to right, poking her head out of the middle of the two women, and asked in a cold whisper: "You two, who are Guo Jia?" Is it Guo Jia's wife and concubine? ”

She heard that Guo Jia's wife and concubine are incomparably beautiful, and they have a pair of sisters working together as a husband, and Zhen Tuo and Zhen Dao are somewhat similar in appearance, and they are also as beautiful as flowers, although their clothes are not extravagant, but they are definitely not ordinary people's attire.

At this moment, Zhen Tuo and Zhen Dao suddenly seemed to be stupid, Zhen Tuo and Zhen Dao broke free of the woman's hand, and said confidently: "Yes." ”

A grim smile rose at the corner of the woman's mouth, and she said lightly, "That's good." ”

Just as they were about to take the two girls hostage and leave, the group suddenly found that countless armies had sprung up around them.

And the passers-by who pretended to be people around them also gathered, and there were hundreds of them.

Xiao Ren frowned, he led the guards to secretly pay attention to the movements of this group of people, guarding against them against Guo Jia, but also wanting to hang out the big fish.

Xiao Ren was sure to catch them before they harmed Guo Jia or the people in Guo's mansion.

But no one expected that this group of people sneaked into Chengdu, and after hiding in the shadows for a few days, they actually kidnapped the two young ladies of the Zhen family.

"The thief is named."

Xiao Ren led his army to surround the hundreds of misbehavers, but he couldn't tell who was the leader.

Faced with the situation of being surrounded on all sides, the group of people set their eyes on the woman who held Zhen Tuo and Zhen Dao in unison.

The woman raised her chin and looked proud, and said coldly to Xiao Ren: "My name is Zhu Rong!" I have Guo Jia's two wives in my hands, do you dare to act rashly? ”

Who Zhu Rong is, Xiao Ren doesn't know, and he doesn't care.

His eyes were full of doubts, and he said lightly: "You are mistaken, they are not the wives of my lord. ”

Zhu Rong was stunned for a moment, but saw Zhen Tuo and Zhen Dao lower their heads, and they didn't know whether Xiao Ren's words were true or false.

But she believed that Xiao Ren was telling her tongue.

"Well, they admit it. Where is Guo Jia? Let him come to me. ”

The person who went to inform Guo Jia was Xiao Yi, and he went to the barracks as early as when Xiao Ren started.

If it weren't for Zhu Rong catching Zhen Tuo and Zhen Dao by mistake, Xiao Ren would still plan to continue fishing with a line.

Because of the relationship between Zhen Tuo and Zhen Dao, it is impossible for this matter not to alarm Guo Jia.

The scene in the barracks has become very silent at this time, only a pair of young men in the ring.

Bang Guo Ye was knocked down again, his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and there was blood on the side of his mouth.

Dian Man walked up to Guo Ye and said softly: "Ye Gongzi, give up." ”

"I, I don't."

Guo Ye wiped the blood stains from his mouth, stood up again, and waved his fists with all his strength in the face of Dianman.

But he was already unstable, and the unstable warrior had always had little combat power to speak of, and Dianman easily knocked him to the ground again.

Rolling twice on the stage, Guo Ye's trembling arms were still barely supporting him to get up.

"Lord, this ......"

Qin Mi's face was unbearable, it was originally a point-to-point competition, but it had developed to this point, and if he continued to fight, even if he didn't die, things would not end well.

Everyone present held their breath, on the one hand, they were paying attention to the calm Guo Jia, and on the other hand, they were all looking at Dian Wei's reaction.

Your son beats the son of the lord like this, can you still watch the battle from the sidelines with such peace of mind? Don't even say a word?

Dian Wei is also very calm, he is not a good flatterer, and he disdains it.

In the stage competition, there is no difference in identity, only winning or losing.

Even if Guo Jia came to the stage to compete with him, Dian Wei would not deliberately lose to Guo Jia because of Guo Jia's identity.

Guo Jia has this self-knowledge, so he never competes with military generals.

The difference between strong and weak, fists are only an insignificant part.

His trembling hands could no longer support his body, and Guo Ye lay on his stomach in the ring, surrounded by blood.

Guo Jia stood up suddenly, and the people around him were nervously watching him to see what he was doing.

Is it the punishment of Dian Wei's father and son?

Guo Jia took off his coat while walking into the ring, walked to Guo Ye's side, draped the coat on him, wrapped his body and held him in his arms.

Guo Ye leaned on Guo Jia's arms, burst into tears, and choked up: "Father, I'm sorry." ”

He didn't want to lose, especially in front of Guo Jia.

With a look of love in his eyes, Guo Jia reached out to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes and said, "You didn't disappoint me. ”

The victory and defeat have been divided, but Dian Man was a little at a loss at this time, standing in front of Guo Jia as if he had done something wrong, and said in a sullen voice: "Envoy, I, I ......"

Guo Jia didn't blame him, but helped Guo Ye up, Guo Ye, who was wearing an overcoat, raised his hand with difficulty, took the initiative to hold Dianman's hand, and said seriously: "Next time, I won't lose." ”

Seeing the sincerity in Guo Ye's eyes, Dianman grinned, scratched his head and said, "Young Master Ye is really a difficult guy. ”

Guo Jia half-hugged his son and turned around, stood in the ring and said to Dian Wei: "Evil, you have a successor, and it will be a beautiful conversation for the future when father and son will be on the battlefield side by side." ”

Dian Wei stood up and glanced at the somewhat complacent Dianman, and said lightly: "Why does he still want to go to the battlefield?" It's also a shame to go. ”

Dian Man's pride was hit by Dian Wei in an instant, and he walked out of the ring silently with a sad face.

When Guo Jia was about to laugh out loud, his eyes suddenly crossed the audience, and at the gate of the barracks, Xiao Yi rode over.

His expression became a little solemn, Guo Jia knew that if it was something important, Xiao Yi would not ignore the barracks and come on horseback.
